NEWBURY PARK, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Electronic Sensor Technology (EST) (OTCBB:ESNR\u00a0–\u00a0News), a leading provider of innovative homeland security and environmental\u00a0solutions, announced\u00a0that it has received orders from two different universities for use in plant biology research projects.<\/p>\n
The one university will use the zNose\u00ae in the Peruvian Rain Forest to better understand the chemical and biochemical processes in the rhizosphere, which is the area surrounding plant roots and includes other plants, microbes, invertebrates and the soil. The mission of the department is to study the rhizosphere in order to develop new antibiotics, anticancer drugs, and bio-friendly pesticides.<\/p>\n
The second university\u2019s program will use the zNose\u00ae to measure chemicals produced by plants in order to monitor their health.\u00a0 When plants are under stress from disease or pest infestations, they generate a chemical response.\u00a0 The zNose is able to measure this chemical response and facilitate detection of plant stress before it becomes visible to the eye.\u00a0 This will allow timely remediation efforts to take place in order to minimize crop damage.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese orders demonstrate the versatility and utility of the zNose\u00ae\u201d stated Frank Zuhde, Director of Marketing and Sales.\u00a0 \u201cThe zNose\u00ae was selected by these distinguished research organizations for its sensitivity, speed and portability.\u201d<\/p>\n
