built on the integration of the Microsaic Systems and Modern Water
technologies. This technical integration for water testing services
is now branded and marketed as 'Tethys Purity' to reflect the broad
and comprehensive water testing capabilities that the Company can
now offer. Tethys Purity
is a modular concept where customers can select the entire suite or
a range of devices and services to meet their specific needs, from
PFAS detection to toxic water monitoring including pathogen
identification. The Company is actively building up partnerships
and joint ventures to support its commercial objectives to deliver
a total solution for water testing and safety.
