Electronic Sensor Technology Announces a Detection Library for Chemical Warfare Agents for Use With the zNose(R) 10-Second Gas Chromatograph Detector

Posted on: Tuesday, 21 February 2006, 09:00 CST

In light of the recent Nerve Gas scare at the Capitol Building in Washington D.C., Electronic Sensor Technology (OTCBB:ESNR) has announced the availability of a compound library for the detection of Chemical Warfare (Nerve Gas) Agents (CWA) for use in the zNose(R) Microsense software. The zNose(R)'s unrivaled 10-second analysis speed and part-per-trillion detection capabilities are proving to be an ideal solution for First Responders, especially when response time and accuracy is critical.

The zNose(R) simulates an almost unlimited number of virtual chemical sensors, and can visually represent smells based upon aroma chemistry using its Vaporprint(R) technology. Virtual chemical sensors combined with odor profiling can be an effective method for quickly identifying the presence of Chemical Warfare Agents and any other airborne compound, bomb-making materials, and toxic industrial compounds (TICs). In just 10 seconds, the zNose(R) can separate and quantify the volatile organic vapors using ultra-high speed gas chromatography. Because the zNose(R) is based upon the science of gas chromatography, odor measurements can easily be confirmed and validated by independent laboratory measurements taken on quality control samples. The ability to perform accurate and dependable analytical measurements on odors in real time provides First Responders with a cost effective tool for monitoring volatile organic compounds associated with chemical threats of all kinds.

A technical paper outlining the installation of the CWA Library into the zNose(R)'s Microsense software is available at: http://www.zNose.com/download/PR/CWA-Libraries.pdf

The zNose(R)'s ability to detect CWAs is yet another example of its ever-expanding range of capabilities. The zNose(R) has also recently shown its performance in Air and Water detecting toxic chemicals. EST offers an expansive library of technical papers for public download at their website: http://www.zNose.com
