Press Release Body: Analytical Technology\'s New GasSens Monitor Enables Safe and
Efficient Gas
Detection in the Pharmaceutical Industry

(23 May 2008) - Specialist electrochemical sensor manufacturer, Analytical
Technology Inc. announces that its GasSens monitor enables safe and
efficient continuous on-line monitoring and control of gas detection in the
pharmaceutical industry. Analytical Technology is the de facto company for
chlorine monitoring in water, and the recent introduction of the GasSens
monitor to the UK market complements the company\'s existing portfolio of
water and gas instrumentation.

GasSens is a flexible component system providing a variety of options to
meet individual gas detection and alarm requirements, capable of detecting
over 30 different gases. Economical and low maintenance, this system offers
the best choice for reliable leak detection in the pharmaceutical industry.
The GasSens enables companies to achieve the stringent levels of compliance
demanded by the regulatory frameworks governing the pharmaceutical industry
in the UK and across the world.

Gas leak detection is crucial in the pharmaceutical industry, particularly
to ensure compliance with health and safety regulations. Many pharmaceutical
processes require the use of potentially toxic gases, key amongst them is
ozone, and certain manufacturing processes may generate hazardous gases as a
by-product. These hazards can be managed through careful equipment
maintenance and regular monitoring for early signs of leakage. Gas leaks can
cause many problems ranging from human health to environmental pollution. In
the pharmaceutical industry, the GasSens system can be applied to the
simplest or most complex gas detection application. Analytical Technology\'s
expertise in electrochemistry and sensor design provides the foundation for
leak detection systems that perform continuously with minimal maintenance.

A major expense in gas detection systems is the cost of regular testing to
ensure that sensors are responding. Analytical Technology has developed a
unique Auto-Test system to reduce this maintenance requirement, available on
most digital sensors and transmitters, including GasSens. The Auto-Test
system ensures that each sensor is regularly tested with gas. Premature
sensor failure or blockage of the sensor membrane is quickly detected and
self-testing will alert maintenance personnel when a sensor has reached the
end of its useful life. This feature dramatically reduces the cost of
ownership of the system and at the same time increase the confidence in the
measurement.

An important feature of the GasSens is that receiver modules provide an
interface between detection system and external alarming and data logging
requirements. Each compact module includes a digital display of gas
concentration, isolated analogue output, and four relay outputs. Receivers
can be located up to 1000 feet from sensor/transmitters for remote
indication, and the systems can provide local control functions such as
valve shutoff while transmitting a 4-20 mA signal to remote displays or data
loggers.

GasSens detection systems employ specialist electrochemical sensors
developed by Analytical Technology and consist of individual modules that
can be located where required. Sensors and transmitters, located in the area
where gas leakage or build-up might occur, provide the basic measurement for
the system.
