JMAR, Portaqua to collaborate on water testing

Mar. 14, 2006 – JMAR Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: JMAR), a developer of laser technology for nanoscale imaging, analysis and fabrication, has signed an agreement with Portaqua, a Virginia-based company that is introducing a new portable water system into the bottling market, for its BioSentry water quality monitoring system.

Under the agreement, BioSentry will be offered as an optional feature of the Portaqua system. BioSentry is a contamination warning system for waterborne microorganisms. Whereas current water monitoring depends on batch sampling, BioSentry uses laser-based technology to provide continuous, online, real-time monitoring for harmful bacteria and protozoa. It is targeted towards a number of applications across multiple industries, including municipal drinking water utilities, the beverage industry, and homeland security.
