Implant Sciences to deliver additional QS-H150 detectors to Asian nation

Implant Sciences has sold one Quantum Sniffer QS-H150 handheld explosives trace detection system under a follow-on order to an undisclosed allied Asian nation.

The nation’s secret service organization will use the detector system to protect its heads of state.

Designed as a low-maintenance, self-calibrating, and self-clearing device, the QS-H150 is built with no radioactive materials and provides very high levels of operational availability.

Sales and Marketing vice president Dr. Darryl Jones said, "They continue to choose our Quantum Sniffers to protect their democratically-elected leaders because we offer an attractive alternative to the larger suppliers of explosives trace detection equipment by providing superior service in their region."

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

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.

The system has validated its performance capability in a wide variety of temperatures and challenging environments, from humid jungles to dry and sand swept deserts.

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).
