Advance Nanotech Subsidiary Launches Lonestar Product Line Offering Innovative, New Chemical Detection Solutions for Industry

New York, NY | Posted on July 30th, 2007

The Lonestar product line provides a powerful and adaptable chemical monitor in a self-contained, compact portable unit that can be easily integrated into industrial settings. Incorporating Owlstone's proprietary Field Asymmetric Ion Mobility Spectrometry (FAIMS) technology, the instrument offers the flexibility to provide rapid alerts and detailed sample analysis. Lonestar units can be "trained" by users for different applications by "teaching" the unit normal operating parameters against which Lonestar can detect anomalous events. It can be easily integrated with other sensors and third party systems to provide a complete monitoring solution, and is suitable for a broad variety of applications ranging from online/at line process monitoring to laboratory based research and development.

Owlstone's core FAIMS technology platform is a versatile detector with the ability to simultaneously analyze a wide range of chemicals. The platform is suitable for many applications and industries, including: condition-based monitoring, reaction and end-point process monitoring, food and beverage taints, and gas purity. The Lonestar product line supplies a cost-effective, easy-to-use instrument providing real-time, online, granular monitoring for rapid identification of anomalous events. Lonestar units are extremely sensitive with detection levels as low as one part per billion and can be supplied with network and wireless connectivity for remote monitoring and operation.

Commenting on the launch of Lonestar, Tony Goncalves, CEO of Advance Nanotech, Inc., said, "The Lonestar product launch represents great progress in the continued growth of the Owlstone business with the company now selling three product lines. We are extremely pleased and expect continued business success through new, and repeat, orders."
