Electronic Sensor Technology Presents zNose Threat Detection Capability to Congress: Demonstrates Screening Technology in Capitol Building, DC Metro Subway and Commercial Aircraft for Select Committee on Homeland Security.

NEWBURY PARK, Calif. -- Electronic Sensor Technology, Inc. (OTCBB:ESNR) CEO Dr. Edward J. Staples was invited to appear for a series of special presentations before the House Select Committee on Homeland Security, the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, and members of Congress to showcase the abilities of zNose(R) technology to rapidly detect and identify explosive and chemical threats in the US Capitol Building, DC Metro Subway and commercial aircraft.

The demonstrations highlighted how the zNose(R) can monitor air within a building like the Capitol or an entire subway system like the DC Metro in real time, establishing a baseline scan for "normal" conditions and detecting and identifying in seconds any dangerous or suspicious chemical vapors in concentrations as low as one part per trillion.

Unlike fixed detector systems, the company's new electronic nose technology has the ability to adapt and recognize chemical profiles associated with terrorist threats. When incorporated into an integrated security solution, the zNose(R) could be used to automatically trigger an instantaneous threat response that shuts down and isolates ventilation systems curtailing the spread of biological and chemical agents and severely limiting the areas of contamination.

Dr. Staples was joined by Jan Kaplan, President and CEO of eScreen Sensor Solutions, Inc., in presenting testimony on the use of zNose(R) technology in tackling additional current Homeland Security vulnerabilities in personnel and cargo screening.

Many of the Homeland Security initiatives have greatly increased the need to develop fast and accurate methods of detecting and identifying a broad range of terrorist threats. The company's product line is positioned to address key vulnerabilities specifically in government, public and commercial building HVAC security; maritime port, airport, aircraft, mass transit and subway security; automobile and truck screening; and postal and border security.
