October 21, 2005—Isonics Corporation, committed to the development of next-generation technology for the homeland security and semiconductor markets, has launched marketing and sales of a new system that monitors and identifies chemical weapons and toxic substances in airports, mass transit facilities, sports venues, and in public and private sector office buildings, says the company.
Isonics’ EnviroSecure system, which is available for immediate sale and installation, is based on ion mobility spectroscopy (IMS) technology (a “sniffer” technology) originally developed by Isonics’ minority-owned German subsidiary IUT-Berlin.
The Isonics system is designed to continuously monitor the air and immediately detect and identify harmful substances at the parts per billion (ppb) level, providing warning to officials of a possible attack in a matter of minutes.
Isonics’ turnkey monitoring solution includes system design, engineering, hardware, software, installation, training and maintenance. After receipt of an order, Isonics anticipates that the EnviroSecure system could be installed and become fully operational within four to 12 months; however, the time frame will vary depending on the size and complexity of each installation.
