USDA Selects zNose(R) for Quality Control of Fish Ponds Announces Electronic Sensor Technology

Posted on: Monday, 18 September 2006, 09:01 CDT

Electronic Sensor Technology (EST) (OTCBB:ESNR), a leading provider of innovative homeland security and environmental solutions, announces the receipt of an order from the USDA for EST's zNose(R) equipment to be used to test fish ponds for traces of algae. The zNose(R) has demonstrated to the USDA the ability to quantify the chemicals associated with blue-green algae sometimes found in commercial fish ponds. If the concentration level is above allowable limits, the fish raised in this pond will not be sold to the market for human consumption. This capability will allow the USDA to monitor and control the quality of certain fish being supplied into the commercial market.

"We are very pleased with this order from the USDA. I believe that the zNose(R) instrument from EST will provide the USDA with a valuable tool to monitor the quality of fish raised for commercial consumption," said Dr. Teong Lim, President and CEO of EST.

More information on the use of the zNose(R) for monitoring polluting chemicals in water can be obtained by clicking the following link: http://www.estcal.com/TechPapers/Environmental/Phenol.doc
