WELCOME.....

Here's the latest from "the boys in Chatsworth."

BRAND NEW WEBSITE

Realizing that chronic halitosis diagnosis and treatment deserves its own place in Cyberspace, we have launched the Official Halimeter Website

http://www.halimeter.com

The Halimeter site features all the latest stuff on this instrument, along with calibration and operation tips.

Very soon, there will be links to our Halimeter dentists, and related technical sites.

Surf on over.

COOL SOFTWARE TO TRY OUT

Ever since Microsoft featured it in one of its newsletters, it's been difficult to get on WinAbility.Com's website

http://www.winability.com/home/

But continue trying. It's worth it. The company manufactures utility software for Windows.

If you keep lots of windows open, you'll like StepUp98, especially the MicroDesk feature.

Drop over to The Free Site, home of the Web's best freebies. Here you'll find counters, digital postcards, fonts, games, and graphics, among many other things.

They call themselves "The Ultimate Collection of Winsock Software," and they probably are.

http://www.tucows.com/

TUCOWS is your place on the Web to access the latest and greatest Windows 95/98, Windows NT, Windows 3.1, Macintosh and OS/2 Internet Software, performance rated and checked for viruses.

THE TUNNEL MASTERS

Yes, that's us!! Interscan CO monitoring systems have recently been installed in Boston's Prudential and Ted Williams tunnels.

And, we just got the order for the Route 9A tunnel reconstruction project's CO system. This one is in lower Manhattan.

Tunnel applications can be tricky. For further information, e-mail Richard Shaw---- rick@gasdetection.com

THE PLC MASTER

We're happy to report that Jeff Riley, one of the top PLC programmers and controls engineers we've ever found, is working with us again--as a free-lancer. This is a great arrangement, since we get the services of a PLC genius, while he can also work on multi-million dollar machines elsewhere. Jeff is truly a wiz, and has never met a machine that he can't program.

If you've got a system integration application--with or without an Interscan sensor--you'll want to get Jeff involved.

Contact him-- jeff@gasdetection.com

BIG PROBLEMS WITH PLASMA STERILIZATION OR THE RETURN OF ETHYLENE OXIDE

Sound the death knell for plasma!! The FDA has issued a nationwide warning against the use of "Abtox" Plazlyte Sterilization system.

Sure, we sell ethylene oxide monitoring systems, and have a slight axe to grind, but we've been saying for years that plasma doesn't work. Guess what. It doesn't. The FDA is going after Abtox, who has initiated a worldwide recall on the Sterilizer.

Expect Johnson & Johnson to do the same with their Sterrad unit.

Read all about it at

http://www.fda.gov/bbs/topics/ANSWERS/ANS00860.html

We've already started seeing an upswing in orders for ethylene oxide monitoring systems.

Nobody's got more experience in this application. For more information-- e-mail EtO@gasdetection.com
