Wilmington, Massachusetts-based Implant Sciences Corporation, a supplier of systems and sensors for homeland security and defense markets, announced the other day it has sold multiple units of its QS-H150 handheld explosives trace detectors to a customer in China. The units will be deployed across several locations for the purpose of protecting nuclear power plants in multi-layered security environments.
“We’ve been selling our QS-H150s in China since 2005, and during that time they have earned a well-deserved reputation for superior performance. QS-H150s are trusted for use in the most mission-critical settings,” stated Implant Sciences’ Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Darryl Jones. “In the past Implant Sciences has provided QS-H150s for nuclear power plant protection in other countries such as Japan and Spain. We are pleased to announce this sale which marks the first such deployment in China.”
The QS-H150 uses Ion Mobility Spectrometry (IMS) technology to provide fast detection of trace amounts of a variety of military, commercial, and homemade explosives.
The company notes that the QS-H150 is built with no radioactive materials, and that it features low-maintenance, self-calibrating, and self-clearing design. The QS-H150 has also proven to perform reliably in a variety of temperatures and challenging environments, from humid jungles to dry, sand-swept deserts.
