VALENCIA, CA -- July 17, 2008 -- H2scan Corporation today announced the Company will be
presenting a workshop titled Solid-State Hydrogen-Specific Sensors for Process Monitoring at
The Instrumentation, Systems and Automation Society of Los Angeles (ISALA) Analyzer
Seminar on July 17, 2008 (www.isala.org).
Prabhu Soundarrajan, Chief Scientist and Director of Strategic Application Development for
H2scan, will lead the workshop. The focus of the discussion will be hydrogen-specific
technology based on palladium-nickel alloy that has the capability to measure hydrogen from
15ppm to 100% H2 under a wide variety of process operations. Other topics will include
application, theory and capabilities of the technology for safety and process applications in
petroleum refineries, petrochemical plants and process gas applications.
Mr. Soundarrajan joined the company in 2007 as a research scientist. He has led research into
new processes and materials to continually improve the capability of solid-state hydrogen
sensors to meet challenging industrial applications.
Cyril Berg, Vice President of Sales and Business Development, stated, “ISA is an important
organization within our industry and events like this are crucial for the growth of the technology
in this market. We are very excited to participate in this seminar.”

About H2scan (www.h2scan.com)
H2scan is the leading provider of high performance hydrogen specific sensor systems that
provide accurate monitoring and control functions for a wide range of applications, including
control systems, safety monitoring and alarm systems. H2scan also provides portable, handheld
configurations for easy leak detection and monitoring.
H2scan's hydrogen specific sensing systems based on a patented "Chip on a flex" technology
are able to detect and measure hydrogen without false readings or expensive support
equipment required. The sensing systems are able to detect hydrogen in air down to 15 ppm
concentration over a wide range of temperatures without cross-sensitivities to other gases. The
ability to operate with or without the presence of oxygen with no interference from CO, sulfur or
chlorine separates H2scan from all other in-line measuring technologies.
The company’s solid-state technology was developed at Sandia National Laboratory and the
U.S. Department of Energy and is only available commercially through H2scan.
H2scan Corporation is headquartered in Valencia, California, and was formed in 2002 with
capital assistance from the Ravinia Venture Fund and Vancouver-based Chrysalix Energy
Limited Partnership, that includes Ballard Power Systems Inc., Shell Hydrogen, The BOC
Group, BASF Venture Capital and Mitsubishi Corporation.
