WILMINGTON, Mass., June 30, 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
it has sold 58 of its QS-B220 desktop explosives trace detectors
to Finnish Airports. The systems are scheduled to be deployed
within the next several months.
"The QS-B220 is the only fully developed, globally certified,
and deployed non-rad ETD on the market. Customers all across
Europe are actively responding to
our superior performance and value proposition, as we continue to
win tender after tender," stated Dr. Darryl
Jones, Implant Sciences' Vice President of Sales and
Marketing. "We have found that, when we go head to head with our
competitors in these EU airport trials, we have been selected as
the optimal vendor nearly every time. Clients are seeing that not
all non-rad ETD units perform equally, and we are confident that
our market penetration will continue throughout the EU."
"Though not necessarily the lowest-priced unit, our unit's
outstanding performance in the operational trial at the airport led
us to being selected over the competition," added Dr. Bill McGann, Implant Sciences' CEO. "The QS-B220
is a top-performing unit in the ETD industry. For airports,
balancing security with high-throughput is of the utmost
importance, and we believe that our unit consistently
delivers."
About the QS-B220 Desktop Explosives Trace Detector
The QS-B220 uses Ion Mobility Spectrometry (IMS) to rapidly

internal automatic calibration system, the QS-B220 brings new
levels of performance and convenience to desktop trace detection
users with unsurpassed ease of use.
