EMERYVILLE,
Calif., May 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Nanomix Incorporated,
a leading nanotechnology company that is commercializing
a line of detection devices for industrial and biomedical
applications, today announced that an ultra low-power,
highly-specific hydrogen detection device based on
Sensation(TM) detection technology is available for
delivery. Concurrently, Nanomix has appointed KWJ
Engineering as its first distributor, making this
technology commercially available, with volume orders
being accepted for the first time.
Nanomix has developed the world's first truly low-power,
highly-specific industrial detection device -- one
of the first products to market that harnesses features
enabled by nanoelectronics. The Nanomix hydrogen
detection device is designed to dramatically improve
plant and first-responder safety in industrial settings
through long-term monitoring of accidental accumulation
of highly explosive hydrogen gas. The device, based
on Sensation(TM) technology, has been through beta
site testing over the past year. The device is very
stable and highly-specific to hydrogen, which eliminates
false alarms. This platform only requires nanowatts
of power for detection, which enables wireless integration
and easy deployment.
"The first Sensation(TM) application to market is
a significant milestone in our commercial deployment
and is the first example of leveraging nanoelectronics
to bring unprecedented access to critical information
across many applications. We are fortunate to have
had the involvement of Ken Johnson, a seasoned industry
expert, in the development and initial deployment
of this innovative product, and we look forward to
working with him to introduce the technology to the
industrial market segment," said David Macdonald,
President and CEO of Nanomix.
"We are delighted to have been involved with evaluation
and testing of this technology from the prototype
stage," remarked Ken Johnson, President of KWJ Engineering. "The
team at KWJ Engineering is impressed with the performance
features of this device and we're excited about the
possibilities enabled by nanoelectronic detection.
We look forward to our participation with this next
generation detection platform."
About Nanomix
