Implant Sciences receives Chinese public security certification for QS-H150

Implant Sciences received an important regulatory certification in China for its QS-H150 handheld explosives trace detector from the Chinese Ministry of Public Security.

Using Ion Mobility Spectrometry (IMS) technology, the QS-H150 is capable of quickly and accurately detecting amounts of a wide variety of military, commercial, and homemade explosives.

Implant Sciences president and CEO Glenn Bolduc said that the Ministry of Public Security certification allows the company to compete for additional public security contracts issued by the Chinese government.

Capable of providing high levels of operational availability, the Quantum Sniffer QS-H150 indicates parts-per-trillion (ppt) levels of explosives vapour and nanogram quantities of explosives particulates for the users.

Implant Sciences sales and marketing vice president Dr Darryl Jones said that the strength of QS-H150 is further demonstrated with the results of these stringent certification tests.

"Notable accomplishments in the testing were the very rapid clear-down time, which is essential for high traffic screening areas, the large number and variety of explosives detected at minute levels, and the system’s performance in a wide range of temperatures and environments."

The QS-H150 has been designated as Qualified Anti-Terrorism Technology by the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) under the Support Anti-terrorism by Fostering Effective Technology Act of 2002 (the SAFETY Act).

Featuring a low-maintenance, self-calibrating, and self-clearing design with no radioactive materials, the QS-H150 has already validated its capability in a wide variety of temperatures and challenging environments, from humid jungles to dry, sand swept deserts.
