IMPLANT SCIENCES CORP ("IMSC-0") - Ships 8 Explosives Trace Detection Systems To Mexico City - International Airport
Implant Sciences Corporation, a high technology supplier of systems and sensors for homeland security and defense markets, announced it has shipped eight Quantum Sniffer(TM) QS-H150 handheld explosives trace detectors in a follow-on order to the Mexico City International Airport. The units will be used for aviation security including the screening of hand luggage and passengers at security checkpoints.
Mexico City International Airport, having used Quantum Sniffers for several years, is well aware of the significant advantages of Implant Sciences' systems. The low cost of consumables and maintenance weighed strongly in their decision to purchase additional QS-H150s, as did the system's ease-of-use, which facilitates the training of security personnel. Airport administrators also cited the non-radioactive ion source as providing a safer screening environment for both security personnel and travelers.
"The Mexico City airport uses the QS-H150 all day, every day for security operations. That they came back to us when they needed to expand their screening capability speaks volumes about the systems' performance and reliability," stated Implant Sciences' Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Dr. Darryl Jones. "This reputation is one of the cornerstones of our foundation for continued growth and demand for Quantum Sniffers in the aviation security market."
