JMAR Receives BioSentry™ Purchase Order from Princess Cruise Lines

JMAR Technologies, Inc. (San Diego, CA), a leading developer of advanced laser technology, through its exclusive cruise ship distributor, Hyde Marine, has received a purchase order for its BioSentry water-monitoring system from Princess Cruises.
The BioSentry System recently completed a successful six-month test run on two separate Princess Cruise ships. The system was being tested as a security monitor for the presence of high levels of bacterial contaminants that could result from deliberate or inadvertent contamination of the ship's water supply. The two ships had distinctly different destinations, Alaska and the Mexican Riviera, thus testing the BioSentry in two very different climates.

"The cruise ship application exposed the BioSentry system to challenging environments including high humidity, vibration, and temperature, requiring our engineering team to make design changes to meet the operational requirements. We are thrilled to have overcome the challenges and to receive a purchase order from Princess Cruises," said Neil Beer, JMAR's president and CEO. "This industry constitutes one of our most significant markets with strong future potential for JMAR. We believe the test program with Princess confirms our value to the cruise ship industry, a big step toward growing our business in water safety and security."
BioSentry is a contamination warning system for waterborne microorganisms. Whereas current water monitoring depends on batch sampling of water and time-consuming lab analysis, BioSentry uses laser-based technology to provide continuous, on-line, real-time monitoring for harmful bacteria and protozoa. BioSentry is targeted toward a number of applications across multiple industries, including Homeland Security, the beverage industry, and municipal drinking water utilities.
