Ivars Jaunakais
Ivars Jaunakais, founder and president of Industrial Test Systems, Inc. (ITS) located in Rock Hill , SC, has been developing and advancing the testing market for over 35 years. Building on his extensive test strip background in the medical diagnostic field, Mr. Jaunakais has revolutionized the way test strips are used in the environmental and water testing industries.
Building on his extensive test strip background in the medical diagnostic field, Mr. Jaunakais has revolutionized the way test strips are used in the environmental and water testing industries. Beginning his company in 1989, there were four main principles that were introduced: quality, simplicity, value and service. Building on this foundation he introduced two new and patented strip methodologies which include the eXact® Strip and SenSafe™ Strip that benefit water treatment professionals. His company has advanced the application of the SenSafe™ Free Chlorine strips to the stringent regulatory guidelines of the US EPA to become the first approved official test for Free Chlorine drinking water monitoring.
He also patented a new arsenic test kit technology that reduced inorganic arsenic analysis time to 12 minutes using a food grade acid 
in place of hazardous acids while also accomplishing detection levels never achieved before without the use of expensive laboratory equipment. His top-rated Arsenic Test Kits are used by World Aid Organizations and recommended by numerous states. The easy-to-use kits require no technical training and are ideal for onsite testing.
Ivars was recently honored as one of the Top 50 people in the water industry by Water Conditioning and Purification magazine. As we enter into the 21st century of water testing, Mr. Jaunakais and Industrial Test Systems continue to introduce new products that will shape the way water testing is performed.
