Implant Sciences to deliver QS-H150 units to customer in Saudi Arabia

Implant Sciences has been awarded a contract by a customer in Saudi Arabia to deliver 11 Quantum Sniffer QS-H150 handheld explosives trace detectors (ETDs).

Under the contract, the company will supply the QS-H150 units for the customer for critical infrastructure protection in a multi-layered security environment.

Implant Sciences Sales and Marketing vice president Dr. Darryl Jones said the system has been designed to perform consistently in environments with wide temperature variations as well as in windswept and sandy conditions.

"Further, the low cost of maintenance and user-friendly interface make them the preferred choice for a growing number of customers worldwide," Jones added.

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.
