IMSC Implant Sciences Sells QS-B220 Explosives Trace Detectors for use at 19 Airports
WILMINGTON, Mass., Nov. 5, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Implant Sciences Corporation (OTCQB:IMSC), a high technology supplier of systems and sensors for homeland security and defense markets, announced today that its QS-B220 explosives trace detectors have been sold to a federal agency in charge of operating 19 airports in one Latin American country. The units will be used for checkpoint screening and air cargo screening.
"With this deployment, our QS-B220 has become the system of choice in explosives trace detection devices for these 19 airports. This is a major milestone for Implant Sciences and gives the Company a significant presence in the Latin American aviation security market," stated Implant Sciences' Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Dr. Darryl Jones. "The QS-B220 was selected based on its favorable total cost of ownership, superior performance capabilities, and its regulatory certifications."
About the QS-B220 Desktop Explosives Trace Detector
The QS-B220 uses Ion Mobility Spectrometry (IMS) to rapidly detect and identify trace amounts of a wide variety of military, commercial, and homemade explosives. With significantly lower maintenance requirements than competing systems, the QS-B220 can be deployed for a much lower total cost of ownership than other approved products. Featuring a radioactive material-free design, push-button maintenance and diagnostics, and a patented inCal™ internal automatic calibration system, the QS-B220 brings new levels of performance and convenience to desktop trace detection users with unsurpassed ease of use.
