THERMOGENESIS REPORTS SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT IN SEQUENTIAL FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR SECOND
QUARTER FISCAL 2010

REVENUES INCREASE 15 PERCENT AND NET LOSS REDUCED 33 PERCENT
VERSUS FIRST QUARTER FISCAL 2010

(RANCHO CORDOVA, CA), FEBRUARY 4, 2010—ThermoGenesis Corp. (NASDAQ: KOOL), a leading supplier of innovative products and services that process and store adult stem cells, today reported results for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2010.

For the second quarter ended December 31, 2009, the Company reported total revenues of $6.0 million, a 15 percent increase over sales of $5.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2010. Total revenues in the second quarter were flat versus the second quarter of fiscal 2009.

The Company recorded disposable revenues of $3.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2010, an increase of 16 percent over disposable sales of $3.0 million in the first quarter of 2010, and level with disposable revenues in the second quarter of fiscal 2009. Results in the second quarter of fiscal 2010 versus the first quarter of fiscal 2010 reflect an increase of approximately $.5 million in revenues associated with the Company’s core AXP® AutoXpress™ (AXP) disposable product.

In a separate press release today, the Company announced it had signed a new and enhanced AXP distribution deal with GE Healthcare. The contract, which runs through July 2012, includes requirements for incremental funding for marketing and market research by GE Healthcare. The agreement also provides incentives for both parties related to sales success, product quality and delivery.

The Company reported a net loss of $1.5 million, or $0.03 per share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2010, versus a net loss of $1.7 million, or $0.03 per share, in the same period a year ago. The results for the second quarter of fiscal 2010 represent a 33 percent reduction in net loss versus the net loss of $2.2 million, or $0.04 per share, in the prior quarter.

“We are pleased with the improvement in our financial performance which was driven by solid growth in revenues and continued management of operating expenses,” said J. Melville Engle, Chief Executive Officer of ThermoGenesis. “We continue to benefit from increasing market penetration of our AXP offering. We ended the second quarter with a backlog of $4.5 million, reflecting $3.4 million in AXP bag set orders recently received from GE Healthcare as they look to build their inventories and meet anticipated additional customer demand. We expect to fulfill this backlog in the third quarter. Additionally, MarrowXpress™ (MXP™) and Res-Q, our products used to process stem cells from bone marrow aspirates, gained increased adoption for their use in orthopedic procedures,” he noted.

In late January, the Company filed a form 510(k) with the FDA seeking market clearance for the use of its Res-Q™ 60 BMC (Res-Q) System technology in the preparation of platelet rich plasma, or PRP, from peripheral blood. “PRP is being used because its rich content of growth factors enhances wound healing. We have demonstrated in our laboratories that our Res-Q technology is well suited for the preparation of PRP. We are optimistic about the potential of this product opportunity,” said Engle.

“Our total revenues of $11.1 million for the first six months of fiscal 2010 represent a 22 percent increase over sales in the preceding six months. The Company’s improved financial performance during the first half of fiscal 2010 and the enhanced AXP distribution agreement with GE Healthcare are evidence that we are on track with our growth strategy as we move toward profitability in the fourth quarter. These six month results are a compelling scorecard of the new management team and reflect major positive changes within the Company, and with our products and customer service,” Engle said.

For the first six months of fiscal 2010, ThermoGenesis reported a net loss of $3.7 million, or $0.07 per share, compared with a net loss of $4.4 million, or $0.08 per share, in the first half of fiscal 2009.

This press release contains forward-looking statements, and such statements involve risks
and uncertainties that could cause actual outcomes to differ materially from those contemplated by
the forward-looking statements. Several factors, including timing of FDA approvals, changes in
customer forecasts, our failure to meet customers’ purchase order and quality requirements, supply
shortages, production delays, changes in the markets for customers’ products, introduction timing
and acceptance of our new products scheduled for fiscal year 2010, and introduction of competitive
products and other factors beyond our control, could result in a materially different revenue or
profitability outcome and/or in our failure to achieve the revenue levels we expect for fiscal
2010. A more complete description of these and other risks that could cause actual events to differ
from the outcomes predicted by our forward-looking statements is set forth under the caption “Risk
