DeepVerge PLC (AIM:DVRG) said its Modern Water division bagged £2.2mln of new orders.
The orders are for newly enhanced monitoring equipment with upgraded software and are being shipped to the UK, India and China to meet customer and partner obligations for delivery in the current financial year.
The shipments include upgraded Microtox toxicity monitoring, new models of the Microtox PD range for SARS-CoV-2 and other pathogen monitoring as well as Microsaic mass spectrometer equipment to monitor forever chemicals and contaminants of emerging concern.
"Just 11 months following the Modern Water acquisition, DeepVerge is shipping 2nd generation real-time pandemic response equipment with SARS-CoV-2 detection fully integrated to meet initial customer demand after the successful demonstration of Phase III field trials,” said Gerry Brandon, the chief executive officer of DeepVerge.

Brandon paid tribute to the company’s teams, “who have delivered more than could have been hoped for when we announced the data science, physics and epidemiology centre of excellence” back in May.
“As a result, we now have upgraded Microtox equipment with the capability to monitor COVID-19 in real-time and other pathogens as well as pollutants, being shipped across three continents,” he added.
