WILMINGTON, Mass., April 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Implant
Sciences Corporation (OTCQB:IMSC), a leading manufacturer of
explosives trace detection (ETD) and drugs trace detection
solutions for homeland security applications, today announced that
the Company has received an order for 25 QS-B220 explosives trace
detection systems from a major airport in France. The systems, which will be used to
fulfill the recent European security regulations requirement for
screening passengers and checked bags, are expected to be delivered
in the Company's fourth fiscal quarter, ending June 30, 2015.
"Our QS-B220 was selected for its superior performance in the
airport operating environment. After conducting a long operational
performance evaluation at the airport, the QS-B220's performance
was demonstrated to be far superior to the competition. This, along
with the fact that the QS-B220 is the only non-rad ETD to have both
the original STAC (France's ETD
approval) as well as the ECAC (European Civil Aviation Conference)
qualification, drove the purchasing decision," stated Dr.
Darryl Jones, Implant Sciences' Vice
President of Global Sales and Marketing. "We are very proud
that Implant Sciences has won a number of procurements in
head-to-head competition with our major competitors in
Europe. We are committed to providing the best technology and
services to meet our clients' needs in this demanding market."
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 as well as illicit drugs. 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.
