Xenemetrix to Take the Lab Into the Field

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Feb. 17, 2011) -

NOT FOR RELEASE IN THE UNITED STATES OR TO U.S. NEWS WIRE SERVICES

Eurocontrol Technics Inc. (TSX VENTURE:EUO), a Canadian public company specializing in the acquisition, development and commercialization of innovative authentication, verification and energy security technologies, through its wholly owned subsidiary Xenemetrix Inc., today announced that it will launch a new powerful Mobile Elemental Analysis System at Pittcon 2011.

Pittcon is the world's premier annual conference and exposition on laboratory sciences to be held in Atlanta, Georgia in March 2011.

This new Mobile X-Ray Florescent (XRF) System is based on the existing Xenemetrix S-Mobile platform. The new system will have an advanced and enhanced chamber to enable the option of using helium in the field. Helium in the field supports the measurement of light elements like Fluorine, Sodium and Magnesium to very low limits of detection. The new system will carry the Silicon Drift Detector technology at an advanced resolution of 127ev. This XRF analyser will be the first 50W mobile system in the market with the ability for light element measurement capabilities.

The new system will also have the ability for data transmission anywhere in the world to an advanced data server that will also be supplied by Xenemetrix. This advanced state of the art system will be GPS enabled (global positioning system) and will be able to track the system and also the measurements generated by the analyser, anywhere in the world. The advanced data collection and analysis server will enable the users to view the data supplied by the system from anywhere in the world trough the WEB.

This advanced XRF system also has the ability to use Helium as part of the detection methodology. The Helium mode of the system is part of its mobile protocol and therefore there will be no need to carry additional heavy helium cylinders in the field. 

"This will be the first mobile XRF system, with 50W power, in the market today to be in-field helium enabled. The system is a breakthrough in taking the laboratory to the field," commented Doron Reinis, CEO of Xenemetrix Inc. "The significant MDL (minimum detection limits) of the new advanced system provides for the reality of lab quality results in the field," added Mr. Reinis.

"The new S-mobile XRF system will enable Xenemetrix to penetrate the exploration, mining and geological markets," commented Bruce Rowlands, President & CEO of Eurocontrol Technics Inc. "Mining exploration will benefit from the new S-Mobile system's accuracy and mobility," added Mr. Rowlands.

XRF can be used to identify metallic elements such as Gold, Silver, Rhodium, Palladium, Platinum and other precious and rear earth elements in very low levels and in great accuracy.
