Homestead, FL – June 6, 2012 – City Labs, Inc., the pioneering innovator of long-life (20+ years) NanoTritium™ betavoltaic power sources for microelectronics, has released its first commercial product, a tritium-based betavoltaic power source that enables low-power microelectronic and sensor applications where battery replacement is difficult, impossible, or life-threatening. The Model P100a betavoltaic power source provides a source of continuous nanowatt power for twenty years or more in microelectronic platforms. Applications include: environmental pressure/temperature sensors, intelligence sensors, medical implants, trickle charging lithium batteries, semi-passive and active RFID tags, silicon clocks, SRAM memory backup, deep-sea oil well electronics, lower power processors (e.g. ASICs, FPGAs, MicroController Units, etc.).
City Labs is the first company in the betavoltaic battery industry to be granted a Product Regulatory General License to manufacture, sell, and distribute its NanoTritium™ betavoltaic power sources. These devices contain small amounts of tritium, a radioisotope commonly found in Exit signs and diver’s watches. The General License provides the end-user with a safe, reliable and commercially available betavoltaic power source, and eliminates both the burden of regulatory paperwork and end-user radiological training. The General License also allows for easy purchase of the betavoltaic power source without requiring the customer to have a prior radiation license.
Last year, City Labs announced completion of its first round of financing and a million-dollar contract awarded by the United States Air Force.
