BILLERICA, Mass.–American Science and Engineering, Inc. (AS&E®) (NASDAQ: ASEI – News), a leading supplier of innovative X-ray detection solutions, announced the introduction of two new Gemini™ Parcel Inspection Systems: Gemini 7555 and Gemini 100100. These systems along with the Gemini 6040 provide customers with a selection of systems to inspect everything from mail, baggage, and break-bulk cargo within mailrooms, lobbies, checkpoints, airports, high-threat facilities, and other security-sensitive areas. Gemini is the lowest cost, multi-technology parcel inspection system on the market.

“With the introduction of additional Gemini systems, we are broadening our offering of the first and only proven multi-technology X-ray solution for screening parcels — allowing operators to obtain the most information about the contents of a parcel,” said Anthony Fabiano, AS&E’s President and CEO. “We believe that Gemini’s combination of Z Backscatter and dual-energy transmission provides the most attractive value proposition for parcel inspection available today.”
