Dear Ms. Adams:

inTEST Corporation hereby applies for the withdrawal of inTEST's Registration Statement on Form S-3, File No. 333-37604 pursuant to Rule 477 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. We request this withdrawal due to changes in market conditions which have resulted in an anticipated offering price per share that is below our expectations. Consequently, inTEST management and the selling stockholders have determined that it would not be in the best interests of inTEST or its stockholders to complete the offering.

If you have any questions concerning this application, please contact our counsel, Patricia Gritzan at (215) 972-7139.

Sincerely,

/s/ Robert E. Matthiessen
Robert E. Matthiessen
President and
Chief Executive Officer
