Participants and foreign media who attended the first biotechnology exposition in Tokyo, said that Clonaid's vice president Thomas Kaenzig claimed that BioFusion Tech Inc., a South Korean company owned by Clonaid, had developed an "embryonic cell fusion system or RMX2010." The sources in Japan said that the RMX2010 allegedly creates a stable electronic pulse required to develop human embryos to the blastocyst stage. The blastocyst stage is the state an embryo reaches five or six days after it has been fertilized, which is a critical step to instigate the cloning procedure. They also said that Kaenzig believes human cloning will become "commonplace" within ten years, though he failed to comment on any advances the company has made toward actually cloning a human being. Related to this, an official at BioFusion Tech Inc. confirmed that the company was set up two months ago as a wholly owned subsidiary of Clonaid and that there were currently three Korean technicians and six foreign employees working at the company. The BioFusion employee also said that about 10 Koreans have asked for cloning services, which according to the company Web site (www.clonaid.com) can cost around $200,000.<ref name="Human cloning firm sets up affiliate in Korea">[http://www.gene.ch/genet/2002/Jul/msg00035.html Human cloning firm sets up affiliate in Korea], ''[[Korea Herald]]''. 13 July 2002.

To help clarify the matter, Clonaid lends one to a British science museum—under strict orders not to open it to find out what's inside."<ref name="The 101 Dumbest Moments in Business 2003 EDITION">[https://money.cnn.com/magazines/business2/business2_archive/2003/04/01/339811/index.htm The 101 Dumbest Moments In Business 2003 EDITION], ''[[CNN Money]]''.
