zNose® PRODUCT LINE
EST's key product line, the zNose®, provides comprehensive, real time analysis of any chemical, vapor, or toxin
in less than ten seconds with part-per-trillion sensitivity.
- zNose® is the
first gas chromatograph (GC) based on Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) technology.
- zNose® can
recognize vapor mixtures containing hundreds of different chemical and biological threats in seconds.
- zNose® provides
simple visual display of vapor analysis enabling ease of use by non-specialists.
- zNose® is programmable
to detect any type of vapor, toxin, or compound.
- zNose® is protected
by four issued U.S. patents.
The zNose® can
be programmed to detect harmful residues in amounts as small as picograms. While other chemical screening solutions have to wipe the surface of an object to detect
traces of explosives or other harmful substances, the zNose® has already discovered, captured and neutralized
all threats.
The zNose® is being used by Law Enforcement and Military
Organizations worldwide for ultra-fast and accurate analysis and detection of many types of explosives, biological
and chemical threats and contraband including narcotics.
The zNose® currently have five models in production and is
testing new software and calibration tools among other developments:
- Model 4200 Handheld zNose® - Vapor Detector/Analyzer designed for applications requiring mobility. Model 4200
can operate outdoor with rapid and accurate vapor screening capability.
|
|
- Model 4300 Battery Operated zNose® - Vapor Detector/Analyzer designed for applications requiring portability. Model
4300 can operate outdoor with the same functionality of the Model 4200 without the need for an external power source.
For applications in which full portability is paramount.
|
|
- Model 4500 Portable zNose® - is a two-piece portable unit that is similar in configuration to the Model 4300
except for the laptop computer that is required by the Model 4300 has been replaced by an embedded processor in
the Model 4500.
|
|
- Model 7100 Benchtop zNose® - a bench top unit that is designed for laboratory testing and is ideal for testing
water and product quality control samples.
|
|
- Model 8100 Fixed Installation Unit zNose® - is designed for indoor ambient air
monitoring and can be used for building security monitoring applications.
|
|
The
patented zNose® technology is the only “electronic nose” to have received
validation from the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy.
It has been chosen by NASA for their Space Laboratory to assist in the search for life on other planets and
by the US Homeland Security Task Force as a major tool in fighting against world terrorism and crime.

In My Opinion
Recently I have been reading up on the various uses of a product that
can smell things and the types of things they may smell. I never realized that the medical field would be such
a strong advocate for using a machine to smell things like cancer, diabetes, Malaria, stomach problems related
to indigestion, intestinal infections from faecal odor and even uses by veterinarians being able to detect what
is wrong with our pet by analyzing her/his breadth.
This is simply amazing. I am not saying the zNose® is the answer, or even how close we are to knowing this
answer. This is because of the secrecy involved in the various test taking place in today's world is strong and
companies involved are not in a position to tell us anything.
This leaves me with an interesting situation. Is the zNose® one of the answers? I have to say yes. The speed
in which the zNose® works is a real "ace" as a hole card. The affordability and even the portability
of the zNose® seems like it would place it on the top of the ladder when finding the right "nose"
for the right situation. Not knowing when is the hardest part, but you can bet if any one of these "medical"
uses turn into reality for the zNose®, the stock will not be at these levels.
I included a few press release having to do with some of the many possible needs of a product that can smell odors.
I have also listed below some of the various testing methods using the breath and even other items using odor as
the end result.
Press Releases
Breath analysis offers potential for non-invasive blood sugar monitoring in diabetes
Diabetics found to have elevated methyl nitrate content in exhaled
breath
Breath
analysis in non small cell lung cancer patients after surgical tumour resection.
Exhaled volatile organic compounds (VOCs), mainly aliphatic and
aromatic hydrocarbons, have been proposed as a diagnostic test for early lung cancer detection
Breath analysis as a method for breast cancer early detection.
Breath markers from exhaled breath specimens have recently been
utilized to detect lung cancer. Phillips et al has applied this technology to breast cancer (BC), identifying methylated-alkane
patterns to predict the presence or absence of BC in 3 groups of women: those with and without BC on breast biopsy
and age-matched healthy controls. The purpose of our study was to build on this work by collecting breath samples
with a simple portable device, unique from prior work, to determine whether BC patients have breath volatile organic
compound (VOC) patterns distinct from those in healthy volunteers.
A few types of testing use odor.
- NITRIC OXIDE IN EXHALED BREATH: A WINDOW ON LUNG PHYSIOLOGY
AND PULMONARY DISEASE
- BREATH GAS ANALYSIS AND VECTOR-BORNE DISEASE DIAGNOSIS:
THE CASE OF MALARIA
- BREATH GAS ANALYSIS IN PATIENTS WITH CARBOHYDRATE-MALABSORPTION

- DETECTION OF H. PYLORI INFECTION BY BREATH AMMONIA

ESNR offers one
of those rare opportunities to invest in a company with a "strong" product and a "built-in" market. ESNR products are "needed
& necessary". The market for things that can smell all
kinds of things is here to stay and it just so happens that ESNR has the best of the best with the zNose®.
ESNR is a company
in the right place at the right time. With having to worry about poison gasses and infected food, we need a way
to discover these new worries before the damage is done and ESNR can do so in just a few seconds. In the last year,
ESNR had many changes and achievements and some of them are:
- Introduced a room size zNose®;
- Created a partnership with a large investment company;
- Sold over 80 units to China (repeat orders);
- Signed up Stetsonex International as a distributor
for Africa;
- Informed us that the zNose® Detects Melamine in
Milk Powder in Record Time;
- Told us of an initial order from ELPICON for Security
Application in Pakistan;
- Announced an order from Security Pro for the monitoring
of environmental odors for a petroleum and oil exploration company;
- Announced an order for 35 units of zNose® Model
4500 to be delivered to Mexico, for their use in homeland security applications:
ESNR has virtually
no debt and increasing business, which will make it much easier to achieve short term growth targets. It only makes
sense that additional orders are going to come from the countries already using the zNose®, and it also makes sense that
additional countries will be signing on.
The uses for
the zNose®
are numerous. It can even smell bad food, bad water and even bad breath. Seldom, as investors, do we get an opportunity
to own a company, with such a demand product, in the beginning stages of growth. ESNR presents us with a company
on the ground floor leaving the only way to go as up.
There are many
shares outstanding, but the exception is that strong ownership by a large entity keeps the actual shares trading
at a much lower figure. There are no reasons for this stock to move lower and many for it to start the road to
higher ground soon. I am looking for news soon, but even more so, I am looking for announcements of additional
usage's, continued orders, new and re-orders, more frequently throughout this year.
We are caught
in one of the most confusing markets of all time, but also one loaded with stocks that are ready to explode. ESNR
could very easily be ready to jump, considering the price is near the all-time low. We also need to be in our favorite
choice before it moves, if we wish to be in the right place at the right time. I believe that buying shares of
ESNR at the current low price would be "a
right place, right time" thing to do.
