Implant Sciences to deliver explosive trace detectors for undisclosed customer

Implant Sciences, a provider of systems and sensors for homeland security and defence markets, has been awarded a contract by an undisclosed customer for its Quantum Sniffer explosives trace detection equipment.

Under the $3.5m contract, the company will deliver combination of QS-H150 handheld and QS-B220 desktop trace detectors over the next several months to the customer.

Implant Sciences Sales and Marketing vice president Dr. Darryl Jones said, "Any order of this size requires multiple meetings, product demonstrations, and trials."

Both the Quantum Sniffer QS-H150 handheld explosives trace detectors and Quantum Sniffer QS-B220 desktop explosives and drugs trace detectors use ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) technology to rapidly detect trace amounts of a wide variety of military, commercial, and homemade explosives.

Built with no radioactive materials, the QS-H150 detector features a low-maintenance, self-calibrating, and self-clearing design and provides very high levels of operational availability for users.

The QS-H150 has undergone testing and validated its performance in a wide variety of temperatures and challenging environments, from humid jungles to dry, sand swept deserts.

The QS-B220 detector requires significantly lower maintenance than competing systems and offers new levels of performance and convenience with unsurpassed ease of use for desktop trace detection users.

Capable of deploying for a much lower total cost of ownership than other approved products, the QS-B220 system features a patented inCal internal automatic calibration system, a radioactive material-free design as well as push-button maintenance and diagnostic.
