June 1, 2003 -- Pranalytica is featured in a Business 2.0 article by Jack Hitt titled The Business of Fear that describes startup companies who have gained market traction in the homeland securitysector.

May 15, 2003 -- Pranalytica begins SBIR Phase I contract awarded by the USDA to develop laser-based sensors for monitoring livestock ammonia emissions. According to the USDA and a recent report by the National Academy of Sciences, ammonia emissions from agricultural operations are a high-priority problem for air quality regulators because of ammonia's role as a precursor to particulate matter formation. For this SBIR program, Pranalytica will work with Dr. Frank Mitloehner, an Air Quality Extension Specialist in the Department of Animal Science at UC-Davis, to develop ammonia sensors that are suitably sensitive and rugged for standalone field deployment in the hostile conditions of an agricultural facility.

Jan. 28, 2003 -- Pranalytica recently attended the International Forum on Process Analytical Chemistry (IFPAC) January 22-24 in Scottsdale, AZ, to exhibit its products and give a technical talk, "Sub-ppb detection of trace gases: Industrial, Medical and Homeland Security Applications."
