The British Embassy, which hosts a large number of events and receptions requiring the screening of visitors, regarded the units as being cost-effective and easy to deploy. The Quantum Sniffers were rapidly transported and deployed due to their non-radioactive source.

Quantum Sniffers' ease-of-use and lack of radioactive source uniquely enable flexible, portable, and secure screening," stated Glenn Bolduc, Implant Sciences' President and CEO.
