Leading Food and Beverage Company Selects Electronic Sensor Technology's zNose Remote Handheld Vapor Sampler for Testing Cargo Containers
Electronic Sensor Technology, Inc. (OTCBB: ESNR) announced today that it has entered into an agreement with a leading food and beverage company to sell its zNose® Remote Handheld Vapor Sampler to monitor odors in cargo containers.
Newbury Park, NY (PRWEB) April 28, 2005 -- Electronic Sensor Technology, Inc. (OTCBB: ESNR) announced today that it has entered into an agreement with a leading food and beverage company to sell its zNose® Remote Handheld Vapor Sampler to monitor odors in cargo containers. The remote vapor sampling interface of the Company's portable handheld zNose® analyzer is designed to detect chemical odors which can damage sensitive cargo such as food products. The Sampler has greater sensitivity than the other zNose® models which we believe makes it ideal for protecting the nation's food supply.
"We are excited to record the first sale of this innovative product to a leading food company for protecting the food supply chain," said Edward J. Staples, Chief Executive Officer of Electronic Sensor Technology. "We believe there are many applications for the Sampler due to its compact size and greater sensitivity than other zNose® models. There is a growing opportunity to monitor cargo shipments based on the increased priority in securing the food supply. We believe that the selection of the Sampler by a leading food company provides the strongest validation yet that our technology is able to capture and test contaminants that may impact the way food and other products are delivered. In addition, we continue to pursue other applications for in the cargo container market, which is a critical market for homeland defense."
Expanding on the existing zNose® Model 4200 which can capture and analyze any odor, fragrance, or chemical vapor within ten seconds, the Company has developed the miniaturized Remote Handheld Vapor Sampler as an accessory product to the zNose®. The Handheld Remote Sampler weighs less than two pounds and uses two D-cell batteries to power a small air pump to sample ambient air at 1-3 liters per minute. Volatile organic compounds within ambient air are collected in small removable cartridges. By inserting the cartridges into the zNose® interface, samples captured at remote locations can be analyzed onsite.
Founded in 1995, Electronic Sensor Technology has developed and patented a chemical vapor analysis process. We believe that the Company's product line is positioned to eliminate key vulnerabilities in the homeland security market, specifically in maritime port, airport, and border security applications.
