1. Searching for Higher Ground: Unveiling NeSSI* Gen. II IFPAC - San Diego, CA, USA - Jan. 23, 2002 Rob Dubois - Peter van Vuuren - Jim Tatera. “the best way to predict the future is to create it” Tatera and Associates *New Sampling/Sensor Initiative

2. What is NeSSI? - Activities in 2001... zAn ad hoc global industry initiative, formed June, 2000 to drive permanent change in how we do Process Analytical. zSponsored by the Center for Process Analytical Chemistry (CPAC) z2001 Activities… yFocus Groups: Pittcon, ISA, IFPAC, CPAC yTutorials: ISA-Houston, INTERMAC-Tokyo ySpecial Teams: X-Team

3. NeSSI Objectives zFacilitate the acceptance/implementation of... ymodular, miniature & smart sample system technology ybased on ISA SP76 standard substrate (aka footprint) zPromote the concept of... yfield-mounted smart sampling/analytical systems ysample system integration with miniature physical sensors zLay the groundwork for... yopen connectivity architecture for sensor communications (e.g. CANbus, Ethernet, etc.) yindustry standard communication protocols (e.g. OPC, etc.) zProvide a technology bridge to the process for... y“sensor/lab-on-a-chip” micro-analytical devices

4. The drivers for change... z Reduce Cost to Build yDesign and Engineering yManufacturing and Installation z Reduce Cost of Ownership yDesign Standardization ySimpler, less expensive maintenance z Enhance Reliability yValidate sample, data, communication

5. Market Acceptance Lower Cost Ease of Design System Reliability Time So Where In the World Are We? On the Post Analyzer House NeSSI What’s going on in the world? Fast networks; robust electronics Lab-on-a-chip; lasers; wireless What does the Market Need? Reliable, rugged, fast analysis What are the Critical Issues? Acceptability by Process Analy. Technical challenges Reasonable Cost

7. NeSSI Generation I zGeneration I - Industry Trends… yEnd Users desire the conversion of today’s proprietary stand-alone modules into a SP76 compliant configuration. (e.g. G.C. block & bleed, bypass loop & filtration, vent control, validation modules, etc.) yThere will be a continual introduction of more components as End Users and Manufacturers embrace SP76.
