SOTA Instruments Inc. - What's New in 1998?

December 14, 1998: Ozone Update: Folks, it has been very difficult to make available our newest higher output water ozonator. Why?, because during our research we 1) found almost no units that operated on strictly 12 Volts DC, or 2) made use of non-toxic ozone-resistant materials, or 3) that were designed properly to minimize or eliminate the production nitrous oxides, or 4) that wouldn't get hot in operation (which substantially reduces ozone output), or 5) that was of high enough quality to be accepted by SOTA. So, I've decided to design the new unit myself with all these parameters in mind. In the long run it will be worth it. I hope you can appreciate this effort. I do apologize for the major delay in getting this higher output unit ready. I wish to provide you, our customer, with the very best product. I've learned a great deal about ozone in the past few months. I also learned that many manufacturers do not have high enough quality units.
As always, SOTA has uncovered much mis and dis-information regarding ozone. Ozone generation may seem simple, but there is a great deal of engineering required in order to produce the highest grade of ozone from air. The materials I will use for the new WOZ unit will be chosen with the highest emphasis on "medical grade" ratings. Materials like void-free fused quartz tubing, surgical grade stainless steels, etc. I will let you know how progress is being made from time-to-time. Please keep in touch via this page. Thank-you! I remain your humble and dedicated designer...
December 10, 1998: Just to remind you, we have many used MPG1 units currently available! Check our products page for details on upgrades: http://www.sotainstruments.com/products.html
November 9, 1998: Thought you'd like to see the actual output waveforms from our oscilloscope (a Tektronix TDS 210, 60 MHz Digital Real-Time Oscilloscope) for both the Silver Pulser output and the Zapper output. Please click HERE for the Silver Pulser waveform, and HERE for the Zapper waveform. In both waveforms, please note the extremely square and symmetrical waveform; free of any spikes or artifacts. As you can appreciate, an oscilloscope is the only tool capable of testing the outputs of these instruments correctly. This is how we quality assure all our electro-microcurrent output units.
November 5, 1998: Arm Strap Kit for the Silver Pulser! Check out this newest accessory. It allows the Silver Pulser to be positioned with ease. The gold-plated probe cords that come with the Arm Strap Kit are conveniently 12" in length. We use it all the time!

October 28, 1998: In response to the release of our MPG2, we have many used MPG1 units currently available! Check our products page for details on upgrades: http://www.sotainstruments.com/products.html
June 3, 1998: The Magnetic Pulser Generator Model# MPG2 is completed! The MPG2 brings to you some of the most advanced features available: 1) Fully automatic operation, 2) LED light bargraph indicating charge, 3) Switchmode Pulse-Width-Modulated power supply allows for optional 12 Volt DC operation from an automotive battery, 4) New custom main capacitor allows for an unprecedented maufacture rated 1/4 million (250,000) pulses! Compare with 5-10,000 pulses with camera photoflashes, or even with the 85,000 pulses of the previous MPG1 model. 5) Lighter weight of the unit. All in all this MPG2 will redefine the standards for all to follow. Expect the MPG2 to ship the first week of July, 1998. We are currently in a "sold out" position for the previous model MPG1, and we are taking orders now for the MPG2. Unavoidably, there will be a higher retail price for this new model: $250 US or $325 CDN (shipping is included in USA and Canada).

May 25, 1998: Some fantastic colloidal silver news! As you know both our Silver Pulser and Silver Maker are top-quality Ionic-Colloidal Silver generators. We knew the electrically-charged ionic-colloidal silver was amazing in it's own right (as so many of you have written to us about), but we did not expect the following lab test result we just received. We sent a 50mL sample of contaminated "toilet water" to the lab along with 5 batches of our ionic-colloidal silver. We wanted to see what, if anything, would occur if we mixed our ionic-colloidal silver with the toilet water. Here's what we got back from CanTest Ltd. Professional Analytical Services, 1523 West 3rd. Ave, Vancouver, BC V6J 1J8, Tel: (604) 731-2388, Fax: (604) 734-7276. The results are impressive and speak for themselves. Note that the "SotaD sample" dates back to November, 1997! This makes us now wonder if indeed the non-ionic colloidal silver looses potency 10% daily as others have thought, but the ionic-colloidal silver as made with our generators has a much longer shelf life. Regardless, in all cases the toilet water sample (for all intents of purposes) became sterile after being exposed to our ionic-colloidal silver. Now, that's remarkable and that's verifiable!

April 1, 1998: New Silver Pulser design! Model# ZBB3! Our newest design: 1) uses higher quality parts, 2) uses LED lights throughout, eliminating the glass light bulb, 3) has a new thumbwheel switch for easier and more stable adjustments, 4) includes and additional Neoprene strap, and 5) has a new colour scheme. Take a peek at it by clicking HERE. If you've got the previous Model # ZBB2, upgrade options are available. Call us at 1.800.224.0242 for more details!
March 31, 1998: It's maintenance time! I've noticed that a few of you are still using our old web address of http://www.portal.ca/~gekko. Please take a moment right now to update your bookmarks to our permanent address of http://www.sotainstruments.com. This way you'll always be able to find us should we switch providers. Hey, we don't want to lose you! :>). Thanks!
February 15, 1998: In order to better support our International Customers we've got new International shipping rates. Due to some of our units not making their way to the intended recipient (getting lost in the postal system's black hole) we've had to add proof of delivery service so we can track the package. Thank-you for your understanding.
February 15, 1998: Due to the overwhelming response of the new GOLD Probe Cords for the Silver Pulser, the special pricing will remain in effect until March 31, 1998. Get 'em while they're hot!
