November 30,
2006: Bio Tuner:
We just ran out of stock on the Bio Tuner Model# BT7. We expect to have
stock by end of February 2007. Also, the new Bio Tuner will now have
Conductive Ear-Clips instead of the Headset. Please note we are taking back Orders for the Bio Tuner, so please
contact us if you wish to place a Back Order.
November 23,
2006: Water
O3zonator:
The enclosure for the new WOZ
has been designed, the pump and ozone tube are approved and have
completed their long-term testing.
The preliminary testing for CE, a European standard, showed that
the WOZ needs more adjustments in order to be more “quiet” in terms of
EMR’s (electro-magnetic radiation). We are working with a consultant on
this … in the past it is often the placement of the parts that needs to
be adjusted in order to create less EMR’s. Hopefully
this process won't take longer than a couple weeks. Stay Tuned!
November 23,
2006: Magnetic Pulser MP5:
MP5's are now back in stock and shipping as we speak!
November 23,
2006:
LightWorks:
We just approved the final plastic enclosure for the LightWorks, as well
as the Hand Paddle. The next step is going into production asap. We are
very happy with the look of the unit. We hope you will love it as much as we do!
October 16,
2006: SOTA's New Website!!:
We have just completed Phase 1 of our new website, and have uploaded it
to the web. Click HERE for SOTA's new
website. This is an important day for us at SOTA as we usher in a new
chapter. Phase 2 will bring to you the highly anticipated SOTA Private
Community. We are working on Phase 2 now and will introduce it as soon
as humanly possible! If you
would like us to email you when the Community is ready, please send a
blank email to
let me know@sotainstruments.com. If you wish to contact us for any
other purpose, please see our

page on our new website.
October 15, 2006: Magnetic Pulser MP5: We expect to have MP5's back in stock in December 2006. We will however be taking backorders in the meantime. Thanks!
October 10, 2006: LightWorks: This is the unit so many of you have been waiting for! We are putting finishing touches on the LightWorks LED Light Unit in preparation for manufacturing. Since we are very close to completion, we are currently taking advanced orders for the new LightWorks unit and are offering special pricing until January 2007 of only $250 US$. Retail price will be $295 US$. We expect to ship LightWorks in February 2007. Please click HERE for the LightWorks website.
October 10, 2006: New mass mailing: We expect to do a mass mailing of our November Product Brochure to all our Customers around the middle of November. Check your mailbox!
October 10, 2006: Our new Website: Well folks, we are almost ready to launch our new website. After many months of planning and preparation we are so excited to finally launch Phase 1. The SOTA Private Community will be launched in Phase 2, so look for that later on. Once Phase 1 launch is completed we will begin to work on Phase 2. Be sure to click on the SOTA Presentation link on the new home page. It is a 2 minute flash movie that we are sure you will enjoy. We hope you love the new website as much as we do.
September 5, 2006: Magnetic Pulser MP5: We are SOLD OUT of our current Magnetic Pulser MP5. Actually, we sold out far earlier than expected! So, we will be out of stock until our new batch of MP5's arrive.. We are very sorry for this inconvenience.
September 5, 2006: Water O3zonator: Our long-term air pump and ozone tube tests have been proceeding quite well. The air pumps are rated at 500 hours continuous usage. So far we have logged about 720 hours on the pumps before the diaphragm weakened and the pump stopped pumping air at the design flow rate. As for the ozone tubes about 1,500 hours have been tested so far with no problems or degradation whatsoever. We have gone into mechanical design stage for the enclosure. We will be making the unit so that the air pump can easily be changed by Customers. We anticipate shipping our new Water Ozonator in the spring of 2007
August 18, 2006: Trouble Shooting Guides: We have created PDF files to assist you in trouble shooting. Please visit the Trouble Shooting Guide download webpage by clicking HERE.
August 18, 2006: LightWorks: The drawings and pre-production sample of the plastic enclosure have been approved. Next step is to manufacture the die-cast mould and shoot the plastics. We are very happy with the design and the fit and look of the sample enclosure. Stay-tuned!
August 18, 2006: Water O3zonator: Long-term testing is continuing on the latest WOZ5. So far, we are getting better than expected results. We need to conduct at least 2 more months of steady testing to ensure we have a near perfect design.
May 23, 2006: Our Magnetic Pulser has passed CE testing. We are very excited about this development. We will be incorporating the changes necessary to achieve CE on our next run. We will let you know when the CE certified units are available for purchase.
May 23, 2006: We have contracted with a company to design our new website. We have decided to first work on the Public Area of our website and get that operational with links to our original website. If all goes well the public portion of the SOTA website could be launched in late August 2006.
May 12, 2006: Pricing Increases: Due to increases in world prices of precious metals and plastic coupled with fluctuating currency exchange rates, we have had to increase the cost of our units and accessories. This is only our second price increase in 10 years. We thank you for your understanding.
May 11, 2006: News of Victor: Our Valued Team Member and Friend. Many of you know and ask for Victor. For several years he has been a very dear and valued team member. At this time, Victor is exploring new avenues. He keeps in touch with us regularly as he is a personal friend … part of the family. We miss his warm and caring ways in the office and wish him well with any and all new ventures.
May 8, 2006: Water O3zonator: Work continues on the new WOZ5. Due to a manufacturing "glitch" from a machine shop, we were set back on our initial deadline. The good news is the new tube design is now complete and we are currently waiting back from quotes from various vendors. We are also starting work on the industrial design of the plastic enclosure so it not only fits into our current family of products, but is ergonomic, functional and reliable. When you pour your heart into something, time has a way of slipping by. Rest assured that our completed WOZ5 will be a fantastic unit.
May 8, 2006: LightWorks: Great news! Our LightWorks unit has just passed "CE" certification. CE is a regulatory body that ensures products are not only safe to use but also ensures the units do not output hazardous levels of EMRs (electro-magnetic radiation, like cellular phones do). It is great to have one's products pass CE certification. Also with the LightWorks, we are waiting for quotes from vendors for the plastic enclosure molds as well as quotes for full assembly. So, it is full steam ahead. We'll update you when we have more information. Thanks for your patience.

Thank you:
We really appreciate and thank you for your patience and support over
the last several years. As a result of government scrutiny and our
battles with regulators, we had to drastically cut back on the
information we could share with you. We are grateful for the incredible
support we have received from so many of you through these times.
March 21, 2006:
A Peek at
New Structure:
We have been developing a new system for SOTA to provide information and
to better serve. The major focus of our new structure will be a new
website. Right now, we are working on the design and writing for this
new site. The next phase is the technical details and the programming
elements. We are working toward unveiling the program in 2006 but it may
not be ready until 2007. For our customers and others interested in our
products, we thank you for your patience and support while we continue
to develop our new structure. Our goal for this program is to serve you
even better.
March 21, 2006:
LightWorks: We
had originally planned to have the LightWorks ready to ship last
October. Our desire to have this product "Made in Canada" has created
major delays as the tool and enclosure manufacturer in Canada has been
unable to meet our quality standards. This has caused almost a year
delay in the process to bring this unit to market. We have had to start
the tooling process from the beginning--this time in China. We are
excited about the unit as it will offer the latest advances in
electromagnetic frequencies--of both light and silent sound. We expect
to have this unit ready in 2006 but it may not be ready until 2007. We
will keep you informed of progress on the development of both these
units.
March 21, 2006: CE Approvals: The LightWorks has received CE approval. This is a European standard that indicates an electronic unit conforms to essential safety requirements. So far, our Silver Pulser, Bio Tuner and SP Lite have all received CE approval as well.
February 22, 2006: We are offering our carrying cases at substantially reduced prices. The carrying cases for small units are now available for $3.00 US and the large ones for $5.00 US.
