LITMUS FQI is a subsidiary of LITMUS, LLC, a global innovations company. LITMUS FQI is providing breakthrough technology that was originally developed at the FDA's National Center for Technological Research (NCTR). Our company's focus has been to use this colorimetric technology to develop multiple indicators to meet unmet market needs that are inexpensive, simple to use, quick and effective. The indicators change colors based upon the levels of volatile compounds to which they are exposed.

LITMUS FQI'S revolutionary indicators are a "disruptive" technology enabling:

• Accurate identification of volatile compounds in the environment.
• Multiple configurations for various uses.
• Calibrations adjusted to suit a client's needs.
• Inexpensive, lower cost and more effective than alternative industry methods.
• Quickness, allowing prompt retesting.
• Reliable results obtained without extensive or complicated training.

Colorimetric indicators have broad application and LITMUS FQI's initial focus has been in the development of indicators for:

• Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (e.g. poultry houses, swine facilities) identified as LITMUS Ammonia Monitors.
• Indicating the DIRECT freshness and quality of food products and identified as LITMUS Food Quality Indicators.

The LITMUS FQI technology, in the future, can be adapted to meet defense, medical diagnostic, as well as environmental and industrial monitoring needs.

LITMUS Ammonia Monitor (LAM)

NEW LAM PROVIDES ENHANCED INFORMATION ENABLINE AMMONIA CONTROL! THE NEW LAM is unlike any other measurement tool to evaluate ammonia levels. THE NEW LAM provides ammonia PPM information in a time flexible format with no special training or equipment. Now you are able to quickly and easily evaluate time weighted average ammonia levels from 1-24 hours with ammonia readings ranging from 1-100 PPM levels. THE NEW LAM is reliable, easy to use, low cost and specifically designed for Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFO).

LITMUS Ammonia Indicators (LAI)

LAI's are available in two distinct PPM levels and are the first ammonia measurement devices offered by LITMUS. LAI offers easy to use methods of measuring ammonia levels above and below specified targets of 25 PPM or 50 PPM. Ammonia levels are evaluated at 4 hour or 24 time frames and identify whether the levels are above or below the specified targets of 25 PPM or 50 PPM levels.

Ammonia Control Benefits:

• Animals less susceptible to disease.
• Better feed conversion
• Less Air pollution
• Healthier growers
• Heavier animals mean more revenue and profitability!

Marketers, distributors and growers have a value proposition that is wanted and needed:

• Increased revenue.
• Customization to include your brand name and ordering information.
• Exclusivity differentiates your organization.
• Reduced ammonia levels.
• Improved quality of life, peace of mind

LITMUS Food Quality Indicators (FQI)

FQIs measure the level of decomposition in food, and are an effective way to indicate the DIRECT quality of various products throughout the entire food supply chain, from harvesting to the kitchen table.

The food indicators provide more productivity:

• Increased revenue through differentiation, exclusivity and brand loyalty.
• Increased margins for assured quality.
• Increased consumer confidence in the global food supply.
• Increased profitability through better inventory management.

The food indicators provide lower costs:

• Reduced product liability.
• Reduced shrinkage and write-offs.
• Reduced inventory holding costs.
• Reduced inspection time and cost.

The LITMUS FQI's breakthrough food indicators enable:

• Accurate identification of the DIRECT quality of perishable food.
• Four configurations for use throughout the entire food supply chain.
• Calibrations adjusted to meet the client's needs.
• Inexpensive, lower cost than alternative industry methods.
• Quickness allowing repeatable usage.
• Reliable results obtained without extensive or complicated training.

LITMUS FQI seeks partners interested in utilizing the LITMUS FQI technology and the development of additional indicators to meet their needs within various industries (importers, processors, manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers, packagers, government agencies, etc.).
