Under the contract, the company will deliver a total of four QS-H150 handheld explosives trace detectors for a new air cargo screening customer in Germany to inspect air cargo shipments.

The contract has been awarded through Implant Sciences’ German Distributor, D-TeC System Consulting.

"The Quantum Sniffer offers freight companies an easy-to-use solution that does not require a lot of facility space, a radiation safety officer, or a high maintenance budget," Dau added.

Using ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) technology, the QS-H150 detector delivers providing fast, accurate detection of trace amounts of a wide variety of military, commercial, and homemade explosives.

Built with no radioactive materials, the detector has low-maintenance, self-calibrating, and self-clearing design to provide very high levels of operational availability.

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.
