Xenemetrix Incorporates New Technology to Its Full Platform of Energy Dispersive X-Ray Fluorescence Analyzers

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - May 10, 2011) -

NOT FOR RELEASE IN THE UNITED STATES OR TO U.S. NEWS WIRE SERVICES.

Eurocontrol Technics Inc. (TSX Venture:EUO), a company specializing in the development of authentication, certification and energy security technologies, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Xenemetrix Ltd. ("Xenemetrix"), today announced that it will be replacing its Silicon Lithium ("Si(Li)") liquid nitrogen cooled detector solution, with Silicon Drift Detector ("SDD") technology upgrades to its full suite of Energy Dispersive X-Ray Fluorescence ("EXDRF") analyzers.

Xenemetrix has an installed base of approximately 800 detector/analyzers worldwide, of which approximately 200 EXDRF analyzers are candidates for the upgrade to the new SDD technology. The upgrade will cost on average approximately US$27,000.

"Our existing customer base will benefit from the ability to upgrade to a much better and convenient solution without needing to buy a new system," commented Bruce Rowlands, President and CEO of Eurocontrol Technics. "Xenemetrix is continually looking at improving its EXDRF analyzers in order to better service its customers and remain competitive in the global EXDRF analyzers market," added Bruce Rowlands.

Previously, the Xenemetrix EXDRF laboratory product line were using a liquid nitrogen cooled Si(Li) detector for elemental analysis in for wide range of materials. The SDD upgrade being offered will deliver better performance with regard to accuracy, minimum detection limits and measurement times.

Xenemetrix has worked to achieve 30% to 50% better elemental analysis results in the minimum detection limit with the SDD detector compared to the Si(Li) detectors.

Eurocontrol's other wholly owned subsidiary, Global Fluids International S.A. ("GFI") specializes in the development of marking and detection systems for the oil industry. GFI produces the marking system and Xenemetrix's EXDRF analyzers are the detection protocol used to detect the presence of the markers in hydrocarbons.
