Summit of the Americas Leverages Implant Sciences Equipment

Apr 17, 2012 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- Implant Sciences Corp., a supplier of systems and sensors for homeland security and defense markets, announced that the Colombian National Police has selected Implant Sciences explosives trace detection equipment as part of the security plan for the Summit of the Americas.

In a release, the company said that both the Quantum Sniffer QS-H150 handheld explosives trace detectors and the Quantum Sniffer QS-B220 benchtop narcotics and explosives trace detectors will be used at the Sixth Summit of the Americas, where 34 heads of state and government of the Americas will convene in Cartagena, Colombia on April 14 and 15.

Implant Sciences said its systems will be deployed at entry checkpoints as the primary explosives screening mechanism for people, bags, and briefcases in a layered security environment.

The Summit of the Americas are institutionalized gatherings of the heads of state and government of the Western Hemisphere where leaders discuss common policy issues, affirm shared values and commit to concerted actions at the national and regional level to address continuing and new challenges faced in the Americas.

"I appreciate the effort that Implant Sciences and their local representatives have put into making it possible for us to use the QS-H150 and QS-B220 during the Summit of the Americas," commented Mayor General Jose Roberto Leon Riano, Subdirector General of the Colombian National Police. "It is very encouraging to see such cooperation in ensuring a safe and peaceful event, and I look forward to working with them in the future." Implant Sciences President and CEO Glenn D. Bolduc added, "Our equipment has been selected to provide trace detection for the most important political summit of our hemisphere because of its proven performance in a wide range of applications. We are working closely with the Colombian National Police on delivery, set up and implementation of our handheld and benchtop units. This is an opportunity for us to not only provide security at this critical event, but also to receive additional exposure for our products in front of key governmental decision makers from South, Central, and North America." According to the company, the QS-H150 is a handheld explosives trace detector that uses Ion Mobility Spectrometry (IMS) to rapidly detect and identify trace amounts of a wide variety of military, commercial, and homemade explosives. The QS-H150 uses no radioactive materials and features a low-maintenance design that is self-calibrating and self-clearing, providing very high levels of operational availability.

The QS-B220, introduced in May 2011, is a benchtop explosives and narcotics trace detector that uses Ion Mobility Spectrometry (IMS) to rapidly detect and identify trace amounts of a wide variety of military, commercial, and homemade explosives, plus narcotic substances. The QS-B220 continues the Implant Sciences tradition of freedom from radioactive materials, low total cost of ownership, and high operational availability.
