Rapid contamination detection technology patent grantee

摘要

LAGUNA HILLS, CA―FOR THE last two years, a subsidiary of a fluid treatment and monitoring equipment maker has been secretly working on a laser-based technology that detects and identifies, in real time, potentially harmful contamination as well as deadly microbes. Micro Imaging Technology, a business unit of Electropure Inc., was recently granted a patent for the rapid contamination detection technology, deemed the "MIT System." Inventors David L. Haavig and Gary Lor-den feel it will be a mighty weapon in the contamination control arsenals of hospitals, food processors, drug makers and semiconductor manufacturers.
