Could ETQ's share price be soon to benefit from their developments with the new UVGI Nightingale Mobile Air Filtration Product.
New UVGI air filtration product
In November 2002, the ETQ announced its new Nightingale UVGI air filtration product, to be produced by a new joint-venture company, UVGI Systems Limited, owned 55% by the Group and 45% by Suvair Limited. This rapid response mobile air filtration unit is capable of killing the MRSA super bug and other airborne pathogens.
The UVGI unit has widespread application where there is need to keep
air free of dangerous live bacteria, viruses, and fungal spores, including
hospitals, schools, cruise liners, aircraft, food processing, and military
applications.
The UVGI unit uses a high intensity Ultra Violet Germicidal Irradiation ('UVGI')
filter, which has been designed to control harmful and dangerous airborne
pathogens, such as Anthrax, Tuberculosis, and Staphylococcus aureus, the
causative agent in MRSA. The filtration system is combined with use of high
intensity Ultra Violet light, which inactivates micro organisms by disrupting
their DNA structure.
Tests of a prototype at the Defence Science Technology Laboratory ('Dstl') at
Porton Down, the centre for excellence for the Ministry of Defence, showed that
the UVGI unit captured and/or destroyed more than 99.9% of Bacillus subtilis
spores, a simulant for Anthrax bacteria.
Since November, second generation units have been developed, which will go on
applications testing at an NHS Trust Hospital in December 2003, following
building completion of its new haematology unit. It is also anticipated the
UVGI unit will shortly go on laboratory testing in the United States with
contractors nominated by the Department of Homeland Security.
Concern seems to be hotting up on the T.V. news that the MRSA super bug is still killing and disabling people visiting or as patients in NH Trust hospitals. It would be surprising if NH Trust hospital do not notice and Buy this product before they get to many expensive law suits for compensation claims.
Definitely a stock that could soon be heading north. Worth buying in but DYOR

What a call by myself, re : my post about the last 45 minutes of trading yesterday the market makers were looking a bit dodgy on Level 2 as I posted, excellent news out today. I'll be back later after I've had my breakfast.
Some excellent weekend press should be coming this weekend and more good gains should follow suit next week as well.

Nightingale superbug killer in presentation to NHS chiefs
Energy Technique plc, the UK company behind the world-beating Nightingale air
filtration unit that kills the MRSA hospital superbug, is to address a health
Commission looking into the superbug crisis.
The company will tell NHS chiefs and members of the public how Nightingale has
been shown to be 99.8% effective by the Health Protection Agency at Porton Down,
Wiltshire.
The invitation to address the September 1st meeting at Newton Aycliffe, County
Durham, comes as Energy Technique continues discussions to sell Nightingale
units into the National Health Service.
Energy Technique Managing Director Leigh Stimpson said: "This marks a welcome
advance in our efforts to make contact with influential opinion formers and
decision makers within the NHS."
Mr Stimpson added: "We are especially pleased to be able to talk to members of
the public - the growing threat of MRSA in our hospitals is an issue that
affects everybody."
The Newton Aycliffe forum has been organised by the Commission for Patient and
Public Involvement in Health, an independent public body sponsored by the
Department of Health. Its forums - run independently of the DoH, are intended to
bring local needs into policy making agendas.
Energy Technique recently announced its first sale of a Nightingale Unit into a
US hospital in Randallstown, Maryland.
Nightingale uses ultraviolet radiation combined with sophisticated air flow
systems to attack the DNA of killer germs such as MRSA, anthrax and TB. First
unveiled at the end of 2002 following prototype testing, the system has
subsequently undergone further development ahead of extensive commercial
marketing.

Sue cannot see what choice the NHS have. Here is a product that can help in the fight against MRSA .When Hospitals in the US are all ready starting to take up the product. If the NHS fail to support Nightingale and MRSA continues to kill, they ( NHS ) will find themselves with a PR nightmare, when the general public discover what is going on.

just how many cases of superbug have been contracted from air , not many I would think , most cases from dirty hands , dirty everything else , HCEG has got more going for it.

Agree Mad doc also hold HCEG. Good threads on MW website.But a combination of both approaches will imho eradicate MRSA.At present though ETQ has the momentum behind it and is a 1/6th of the value of HCEG.

True MRSA is a contact bug, but the case for having an isolation ward for infected patients is a must and that environment should be kept as sanitised as is poss. Times are moving forward and I'm sure a few years from now people will think it their right to have clean air, especially inside a hospital and in the workplace. A machine such as this that kills 99% of all airbourne germs dead (just as domestos does the loo) has wider implications / benifits for any purchaser. An outbreak of SARS for example could be controlled more easily with proper facilities like isolation wards.
