PROXY STATEMENT
Dated November 6, 2006

ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED JULY 31, 2006
TO BE HELD ON DECEMBER 13, 2006

GENERAL

This Proxy Statement is being furnished to the shareholders of Accelr8 Technology Corporation, a Colorado corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors”) from holders (the “Shareholders”) of outstanding shares of common stock, no par value, of the Company (the “Common Stock”), for use at the Annual Meeting of the Shareholders for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2006, to be held at 2:30 p.m., local time, on December 13, 2006, at the Warwick Hotel Denver, 1776 Grant Street, Denver, Colorado 80203, and any adjournments or postponements thereof (the “Annual Meeting”). This Proxy Statement, Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders and the accompanying Proxy Card are first being mailed to shareholders on or about _______, 2006.

VOTING SECURITIES AND VOTE REQUIRED

Only Shareholders of record at the close of business on October 31, 2006 (the “Record Date”) are entitled to notice of and to vote the shares of Common Stock of the Company held by them on such date at the Annual Meeting or any and all adjournments thereof. As of the Record Date, there were 9,971,210 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding with 1,129,110 shares held in a Rabbi Trust by the Company for the benefit of Thomas V. Geimer. Mr. Geimer does not have voting power over the shares that are held in the Rabbi Trust. As a result, there are 8,842,100 shares entitled to vote at the Company’s Annual Meeting. There was no other class of voting securities outstanding as of the Record Date.

Each share of Common Stock held by a Shareholder entitles such Shareholder to one vote on each matter that is voted upon at the Annual Meeting or any adjournments thereof.

The presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of 33% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock is necessary to constitute a quorum at the Annual Meeting. Assuming that a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock present at the Annual Meeting in person or by proxy will be required to (i) elect each of the three nominees for directors of the Company, (ii) adopt an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation which would effect an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock from 12,000,000 shares to 14,000,000 shares; and (iii) ratify the selection of Comiskey & Company, P.C. as the independent public accountants of the Company for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2007.

Abstentions and broker “non-votes” will be counted toward determining the presence of a quorum for the transaction of business; however, abstentions will have the effect of a negative vote on the proposals being submitted. Abstentions may be specified on all proposals. A broker “non-vote” will have no effect on the outcome of any of the proposals.

If the accompanying proxy is properly signed and returned to the Company and not revoked, it will be voted in accordance with the instructions contained therein. Unless contrary instructions are given, the persons designated as proxy holders in the accompanying Proxy Card will vote “FOR” each proposal to be considered by the Shareholders at the Annual Meeting or, if no such recommendation is given, in their own discretion. The Company’s executive officers and directors have advised the Company that they intend to vote their shares (including those shares over which they hold voting power), representing approximately 10.85% as of October 27, 2006, of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, in favor of each of the proposals above. Each Proxy granted by a Shareholder may be revoked by such Shareholder at any time thereafter by writing to the Secretary of the Company prior to the Annual Meeting, or by execution and delivery of a subsequent Proxy or by attendance and voting in person at the Annual Meeting, except as to any matter or matters upon which, prior to such revocation, a vote shall have been cast pursuant to the authority conferred by such Proxy.

Representatives from Comiskey & Company, P.C. are expected to attend the Annual Meeting. As a result, the Company anticipates that a representative from Comiskey & Company, P.C. will be available to make a statement or respond to any questions at the Annual Meeting.

The cost of soliciting these Proxies, consisting of the printing, handling, and mailing of the Proxy and related material, and the actual expense incurred by brokerage houses, custodians, nominees and fiduciaries in forwarding proxy materials to the beneficial owners of the shares of Common Stock, will be paid by the Company.

In order to assure that there is a quorum, it may be necessary for certain officers, directors, regular employees and other representatives of the Company to solicit Proxies by telephone, facsimile or in person. These persons will receive no extra compensation for their services.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL
OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following table sets forth certain information regarding beneficial ownership of our Common Stock as of October 15, 2006 by (i) each person who is known by the Company to own beneficially more than 5% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock; (ii) each of the Company’s executive officers and directors; and (iii) all executive officers and directors as a group. The calculation excludes 1,129,110 shares which are held by the Rabbi Trust for the benefit of Thomas V. Geimer. Further, Mr. Geimer does not have voting power over the shares that are held in the Rabbi Trust. Common Stock not outstanding but deemed beneficially owned by virtue of the right of an individual to acquire shares is treated as outstanding only when determining the amount and percentage of Common Stock owned by such individual. Except as noted, each person or entity has sole voting and sole dispositve power with respect to the shares shown.

Compensation Pursuant to Plans

Deferred Compensation Plan. In January 1996, we established a deferred compensation plan for our employees. Contributions to the plan are provided for under the employment agreement detailed above.

In connection with the purchase of the YoDx technology, the Company agreed to issue an additional 200,000 stock options with the same terms as the Company’s Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan upon the earlier of (a) the Company achieving certain accumulated revenue levels associated with the YoDx™ technology or (b) a change in control of the Company prior to the expiration date of the options. As of October 15, 2006, the contingent provisions have not been met and the options have not been granted. The Company has reserved a sufficient number of shares for such options.

The 1996 Stock Option Plans

The Board of Directors of the Company has adopted an incentive stock option plan (the “Qualified Plan”) which provides for the grant of options to purchase an aggregate of not more than 700,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The purpose of the Qualified Plan is to make options available to management and employees of the Company in order to provide them with a more direct stake in the future of the Company and to encourage them to remain with the Company. The Qualified Plan provides for the granting to management and employees of “incentive stock options” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”).

The Board of Directors of the Company has adopted a non-qualified stock option plan (the “Non-Qualified Plan”) which provides for the grant of options to purchase an aggregate of not more than 300,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The purpose of the Non-Qualified Plan is to provide certain key consultants, independent contractors, technical advisors and directors of the Company with options in order to provide additional rewards and incentives for contributing to the success of the Company. These options are not incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code.

The Qualified Plan and the Non-Qualified Plan (the “Stock Option Plans”) are administered by a committee (the “Committee”) appointed by the Board of Directors which determines the persons to be granted options under the Stock Option Plans and the number of shares subject to each option. No options granted under the Stock Option Plans are transferable by the optionee other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution and each option is exercisable, during the lifetime of the optionee, only by such optionee. Any options granted to an employee terminate 90 days after his ceasing to be an employee, except in limited circumstances, including death of the employee, and where the Committee deems it to be in the Company’s best interests not to terminate the options.

The exercise price of all incentive stock options granted under the Qualified Plan must be equal to the fair market value of such shares on the date of grant as determined by the Committee, based on guidelines set forth in the Qualified Plan. The exercise price may be paid in cash or (if the Qualified Plan shall meet the requirements of rules adopted under the Exchange Act) in Common Stock or a combination of cash and Common Stock. The term of each option and the manner in which it may be exercised will be determined by the Committee, subject to the requirement that no option may be exercisable more than 10 years after the date of grant. With respect to an incentive stock option granted to a participant who owns more than 10% of the voting rights of the Company’s outstanding capital stock on the date of grant, the exercise price of the option must be at least equal to 110% of the fair market value on the date of grant and the option may not be exercisable more than five years after the date of grant.

The Stock Option Plans were approved by our shareholders at a special shareholders meeting held on November 8, 1996. At the annual meeting of shareholders held on December 12, 2002, shareholders approved the following amendments to the Qualified Plan and the Non-Qualified Plan: (i) the Committee was given the power to amend and alter the Qualified Plan and the Non-Qualified Plan so long as the amendments do not affect any outstanding options; (ii) provide that any shares cancelled, terminated, or expired pursuant to the Qualified Plan and the Non-Qualified Plan be made available for purposes of the Qualified Plan and the Non-Qualified Plan; (iii) provide that the cashless exercise provision of the Qualified Plan and the Non-Qualified Plan be in the sole discretion of the Committee; and (iv) extended the expiration date of the Qualified Plan and the Non-Qualified Plan until December 12, 2012.

As of July 31, 2006, 599,000 options had been granted pursuant to the Qualified Plan with 12,500 of these options exercised, 179,000 options that expired, leaving 280,000 available for grant and 300,000 options had been granted pursuant to the Non-Qualified Plan with 75,000 of these options exercised, 50,000 options that expired and 50,000 available for grant.

2004 Omnibus Stock Option Plan

On December 14, 2004, the shareholders approved the Company’s 2004 Omnibus Stock Option Plan (the “Omnibus Plan”). The Omnibus Plan authorizes the issuance of up to five hundred thousand (500,000) shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The purpose of the Omnibus Plan is to promote the growth of the Company by permitting the Company to grant options (“Options”) to purchase shares of its Common Stock, to attract and retain the best available personnel for positions of substantial responsibility and to provide certain key employees, independent contractors, consultants, technical advisors and directors of the Company with a more direct stake in the future of the Company and provide an additional incentive to contribute to the success of the Company.

The Omnibus Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board or any committee of the Board performing similar functions, as appointed from time to time by the Board (the “Omnibus Committee”). Pursuant to the terms of the Omnibus Plan, the Omnibus Committee may grant either “incentive stock options” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”) or nonqualified stock options, provided that incentive stock options may not be granted to independent contractors and consultants. The exercise price of all incentive stock options granted under the Omnibus Plan must be equal to the fair market value of such shares on the date of grant as determined by the Omnibus Committee, based on guidelines set forth in the Omnibus Plan. The exercise price of nonqualified stock options granted under the Omnibus Plan shall be not less than 50% of the fair market value of a share on the date of grant of such Option. The Omnibus Committee may grant on behalf of the Company, Options to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock to any key employee, independent contractor, consultant, technical advisor or director.

As of July 31, 2006, 377,500 options had been granted pursuant to the Omnibus Plan with none of these options exercised and 15,000 expired leaving 137,500 available for grant.

CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS

During fiscal year 1996, we established a deferred compensation plan for our employees. We may make discretionary contributions to the plan based on recommendations from the Board of Directors. As of July 31, 2006, the Board of Directors had authorized deferred compensation totaling $825,000 since fiscal year 1996 to Mr. Geimer of which $750,000 had been funded. The $75,000 representing the difference between the authorized deferred compensation and the funded deferred compensation was funded on October 12, 2006.

There were no other transactions or series of transactions for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2006, nor are there any currently proposed transactions, or series of the same to which we are a party, in which the amount involved exceeds $60,000 and in which, to the knowledge of the Company, any director, executive officer, nominee, 5% shareholder or any member of the immediate family of the foregoing persons, have or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(a) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, generally requires the Company’s directors and executive officers and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of the Company’s equity securities (“10% owners”) to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of Common Stock and other equity securities of the Company. Directors and executive officers and 10% owners are required by Securities and Exchange Commission regulation to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. To the Company’s knowledge, based solely on review of copies of such reports furnished to us and verbal representations that no other reports were required to be filed during the fiscal year ended July 31, 2006, all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to its directors, executive officers and 10% owners were met.

PROPOSAL 2

PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE ARTICLES OF
INCORPORATION TO INCREASE THE AUTHORIZED
SHARES OF COMMON STOCK

The Board of Directors has approved a resolution, subject to Shareholder approval, to amend the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to increase the total number of authorized shares of Common Stock from 12,000,000 shares of Common Stock to 14,000,000 shares of Common Stock. The form of amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Articles of Incorporation is attached as Appendix A, and reference is made to the Amendment for the complete terms thereof.

The Company’s Articles of Incorporation currently authorize the issuance of 12,000,000 shares of Common Stock, no par value. As of October 31, 2006, there were 9,971,210 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding. The Amendment will not affect the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding, but will only affect the total number of shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance by the Company. The Board of Directors believes that adoption of this Proposal will provide flexibility for any future financings undertaken by the Company.

If approved by the Shareholders, the Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation will increase the Company’s authorized capital stock to 14,000,000 shares of Common Stock from 12,000,000 shares of Common Stock. There will be no further vote by the Shareholders prior to any issuance of these shares of Common Stock. As of the date of this Proxy Statement, the Company has no plans to issue any of these shares of Common Stock.

Approval of the Amendment requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting. If the Amendment is approved by the Shareholders, it will become effective as of the date and time it is filed with the office of the Secretary of State of Colorado. The filing will be made as soon as practicable following the approval of the Amendment by the Shareholders.

Board Recommendation

The Board recommends a vote FOR the adoption of the Amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to increase the authorized shares of Common Stock from 12,000,000 shares to 14,000,000 shares, and each of the Resolutions with respect thereto set forth in Exhibit A hereto.

During the preceding two fiscal years and through February 18, 2005, there no disagreements between the Company and Anton Collins Mitchell, LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or audit scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to Anton Collins Mitchell, LLP’s satisfaction, would have caused Anton Collins Mitchell, LLP to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with Anton Collins Mitchell, LLP’s reports on the Company’s financial statements.

During the preceding two fiscal years and through February 18, 2005, there were no reportable events required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-B.

A copy of the Anton Collins Mitchell, LLP letter was filed by the Company on Form 8-K on February 23, 2005.

On February 18, 2005, the Company’s audit committee named Comiskey & Company, P.C. (“Comiskey”) as its new independent accountants. During the preceding two fiscal years and through February 18, 2005, the Company has not consulted with Comiskey regarding the matters described in, and required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 304(a)(2)(i) or Item 304(a)(2)(ii) of Regulation S-B.

Tax Fees

The aggregate fees billed by Comiskey & Company, P.C. for professional services rendered for the tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning for the fiscal years ended July 31, 2006 and 2005 (“Tax Fees”) was $0 and $0, respectively.

All other Fees

Comiskey & Company, P.C. did not perform any professional services other than those set forth above for the fiscal years ended July 31, 2006 and 2005.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies

The Audit Committee shall pre-approve all auditing services and permitted non-audit services (including the fees and terms thereof) to be performed for the Company by its independent auditor, subject to any de minimus exceptions that may be set for non-audit services described in Section 10A(i)(l)(B) of the Exchange Act which are approved by the Committee prior to the completion of the audit.

None of the hours expended on the principal accountant’s engagement to audit the Company’s financial statements for the most recent fiscal year were attributed to work performed by persons other than the principal accountant’s full-time permanent employees.

Board Recommendation

The Board recommends a vote FOR the ratification of the selection of Comiskey & Company, P.C. as independent public accountants of the Company for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2007.
