Implant Sciences to deliver QS-H150 detectors for Nigerian customer

Implant Sciences has been awarded a contract to deliver Quantum Sniffer QS-H150 handheld explosives trace detectors to an undisclosed corporate customer for critical infrastructure protection in Nigeria.

Darryl Jones, vice president of Implant Sciences Sales and Marketing said, "Quantum Sniffer’s ease-of-use and detection capability across a wide range of environmental conditions are key value drivers for customers."

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 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.

Implant Sciences president and CEO Glenn Bolduc said, "Our systems’ minimal supply and maintenance requirements are especially attractive to customers in Africa, the Middle East, and Asia."

The company develops, manufactures and sells sophisticated sensors and systems for security, safety, and defence (SS&D) markets.
