 Initiative. In the final report presented to Anaheim last week, BioSentry not only met but exceeded expectations.

The BioSentry System was installed in Anaheim's City Hall West for the purpose of testing BioSentry's ability to detect the presence of Cryptosporidium cryptosporidium (krĭp'tōspərĭd`ēəm), genus of protozoans having at least four species; they are waterborne parasites that cause the disease cryptosporidiosis.  and other unknown pathogens in a water distribution system. Cryptosporidium is one of the major pathogens identified by the EPA/Department of Homeland Security (DHS DHS Department of Homeland Security (USA)

 which, if introduced into a water supply, could cause severe facility disruption and possible fatalities. The BioSentry successfully passed the test protocol agreed upon by JMAR and the City of Anaheim, establishing its capability to detect contaminants at levels that were actually far below the concentration levels indicative of a deliberate contamination event.

"We are delighted to have the opportunity to work with the City of Anaheim to test BioSentry in such an important National Security initiative," said Dr. Neil Beer, JMAR's president and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization.

"Anaheim is one of the more proactive cities in America when it comes to homeland security and water quality, and we are certainly pleased that the BioSentry exceeded our expectations."

BioSentry(TM) is a contamination warning system for waterborne microorganisms. Whereas current water monitoring depends on batch sampling of water and time-consuming lab analysis, BioSentry(TM) uses laser-based technology to provide continuous, on-line, real-time monitoring for harmful bacteria and protozoa. BioSentry(TM) is targeted toward a number of applications across multiple industries, including homeland security, the beverage industry, and municipal drinking water drinking water
