Technological Innovation for a Safer World Quantum Sniffer QS-H150
About Implant Sciences Corporation US manufacturer of explosive trace detection (ETD) systems located in Wilmington, Massachusetts Long history of innovation The company holds16 security related patents (9 issued, 6 pending, 1 licensed) covering a broad range of techniques sample harvesting and collection analysis detection Over 1,300 ETD systems shipped to date
QS-H150 Product Overview Easy to Use Supports non-contact trace, vapor, and wipe sampling Detects a wide range of explosives Continuous automatic self-calibration Rapid clear down Non-radioactive ion source Low Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) Deployed for a range of security applications SAFETY Act Designated
The Quantum Sniffer QS-H150 delivers fast and accurate explosive trace detection. The unit is portable, easy to use, and is conveniently operated with just one hand. QS-H150 OPERATION
Start Sampling Mode 1. Look for green ready light 2. Press green START button After pressing start button, green light will start to flash.
Collect Sample 3. Position intake near item: Simultaneous noncontact explosive trace and vapor sampling QS-H150 provides audible feedback during sampling
Get Results No Explosive Trace The QS-H150 shows that nothing has been detected and automatically prepares for another sample. 1:21 PM Batt NO ALARM NO ALARM Wait for READY Explosive Detected QS-H150 sounds alarm and displays substance detected Substances Detected: TNT After operator acknowledges alarm, the H150 self-cleans to prepare for the next sample.
When operations require contact sampling, the QS-H150 is ready. WIPE SAMPLING OPERATION
Collect Sample Wipe surface to be sampled with a sample trap
Present for Analysis Press green START button Hold sample trap to QS-H150 inlet H150 provides audio feedback that positioning is correct Get results Same results screens as for non-contact sampling
Flexible Sampling Sample the way you want, when you want. Only the QS-H150 allows users to switch between non-contact particle and vapor sampling and wipe sampling without system reconfiguration or recalibration.
The QS-H150 detects a wide variety of commercial, military, and home made explosives. It is completely self-calibrating, clears down very fast, and can be used almost anywhere. THE QS-H150 AT WORK
Explosives Detected Standard Explosives TNT, RDX, PETN, Nitroglycerin (NG), Ethylene Glycol Dinitrate (EGDN) Plastic Explosives C4 (RDX), Detasheet (PETN), Semtex (RDX + PETN) Home-MadeExplosives (HMEs) ANFO (Ammonium nitrate + fuel oil), Urea nitrate, Triacetone triperoxide (TATP) Expandable, user-programmable library New signatures can be added at any time
Automatic Self-calibration Continuous self-monitoring assures proper operation Automatic adjustment to changing conditions such as going outside from a climate controlled building No sample traps or verification traps needed Eliminates errors resulting from improper calibration Ion Mobility Spectroscopy (IMS) 3 Regions Ionization Region Drift Region Collector/ Amplifier
Ultra-fast Clear Down Real time detection stops sampling as soon as detection is made Prevents overloading Implant Sciences Ion Mobility Spectrometer design is highly contamination resistant Quickly cleans for next sample Which means the QS-H150 can process more items in less time when explosives are detected just when you need it most!
Photonic Ionization The QS-H150 s patented non-radioactive ion source means less hassle for you: No restrictions on transport between countries No licensing required No annual inspections No decommissioning costs
The QS-H150 is designed to minimize ownership costs. The system is very low maintenance and requires far fewer consumable supplies than other detectors. MAINTENANCE AND UPKEEP
Maintenance QS-H150 Replace molecular sieve Keep air inlets and vents free of dust QS-H150 maintenance typically requires only a few minutes once or twice a week. Automated deep clean and regeneration when needed Other unit Daily Calibration and verification Weekly Clean cooling fan intake Inspect/replace dopant Clean air line Inspect/replace filter Clean/inspect membrane Clean desorber Monthly Replace membrane
Consumables QS-H150 Sample Traps (if desired) Molecular Sieve (a dehumidifying agent) Annual operating expense for the QS-H150 can be 10% or less of the cost for other detection units. Other unit Sample traps Positive dopant Negative dopant Calibration traps Verification traps Maintenance Kit Nozzle screens, alcohol swabs, alcohol wipes, cotton gloves, canned air, clearing spray, filters
SAFETY Act Designated The QS-H150 has been Designated a Qualified Anti- Terrorism Technology by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security pursuant to 6 U.S.C. 441-444 (the Support Anti-terrorism by Fostering Effective Technologies Act of 2002, or "SAFETY Act") and 6 C.F.R. Part 25 (Regulations to Support Anti-terrorism by Fostering Effective Technologies).
SAFETY Act Designation Criteria Prior United States Government use or demonstrated substantial utility and effectiveness Availability of the Technology for immediate deployment in public and private settings Magnitude of risk exposure to the public if the Technology is not deployed Evaluation of scientific studies that can be feasibly conducted in order to assess the capability of the Technology to substantially reduce risks of harm Whether the Technology is effective in facilitating the defense against Acts of Terrorism
