Volume Deliveries to Begin in the Current Quarter
WAKEFIELD, Mass.–Implant Sciences Corporation (AMEX: IMX – News), a high technology supplier of systems and sensors for the homeland security market and related industries, today announced multiple orders totaling approximately $2.7 million for its Quantum SnifferTM QS-H150 portable explosives detection systems to be delivered to customers of Beijing Ritchie’s Time Co., Ltd., one of the Company’s distributors in China. The QS-H150’s are expected to be deployed primarily for use in transportation and facility security applications in multiple locations throughout China.
Richard Meyerhoff, Implant Sciences’ Vice President of Worldwide Sales and Service, commented, “We are excited about our continuing expansion in the explosives trace detection (ETD) market in China. Our QS-H150 product line was developed to provide customers portable technology for the detection of a wide range of explosives materials within challenging operating environments. We believe these orders continue to demonstrate the growing demand for our ETD equipment and underscore our ongoing progress toward attaining a leadership position within the global market.”
The QS-H150 provides high performance and reliability combined with a very low cost of ownership. Annual maintenance costs are minimal and consist primarily of normal care and cleaning using common supplies. Unlike some competitive units, calibration is autonomous, continuous, and requires no consumables. Since there are no radioactive materials used in the QS-H150, there are no associated certifications, licenses, inspections, or end-of-life disposal issues. As such, customers have an outstanding, cost effective product available to them in support of efforts to improve their overall security profile and meet mission critical objectives.
