The Board of Directors
Cell Robotics International, Inc.

We consent to the use of our report included herein and to the reference to our
firm under the heading "Experts" in the prospectus.

Our report dated February 22, 2002, contains an explanatory paragraph that
states that the Company has suffered recurring losses and negative cash flows
from operations which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a
going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of that uncertainty.
