Christchurch, New Zealand — SciTOX announces that they have shipped their first commercial orders for their ALPHA toxicity analyzer, publicly released on 19 April 2009.

The first four units have been shipped to countries in Europe and Asia as a result of a series of introductory seminars given May through July in those regions, according to Ralph Wattinger, the CEO of SciTOX. “In addition to a total of five orders that we have processed, there have been commitments for further orders given by customers in the Americas, Asia, and Europe,” he said. The customers included government agency labs looking at wastewater and universities running wastewater treatment training programs.

Rapid Toxicity Measurement Systems (RTMS) provide wastewater customers with an early warning of potential upsets to their treatment systems, reducing the risk of non-compliant discharges and higher operating costs. The toxic response measured by the ALPHA applies to organic and inorganic toxins. The ALPHA, and future platforms marketed by SciTOX will be employed in laboratories, in-process, and in field applications.

SciTOX promotes and supports their products through established, trained distribution offices globally. Seminars and customer demonstrations are offered throughout the world. Details for these seminars, together with contact information for every distributor can be obtained by visiting the SciTOX website at www.SciTOX.com.
