Implant Sciences Corporation, a high technology supplier of systems and sensors for homeland security and defense markets, announced today that it will exhibit its QS-B220 desktop explosives and drugs trace detectors at Air Cargo Americas on November 6th through 8th in Miami, Florida at booth #929.
Implant Sciences' QS-B220 has recently been added to the "Qualified" section of the Air Cargo Screening Technology List (ACSTL), joining the list of products from which the TSA encourages regulated customers to purchase. Carriers and freight forwarders now have the option of deploying a screening technology that is free from radioactive materials and emits no ionizing radiation.
Only equipment listed on the ACSTL can be used for screening cargo carried on passenger planes landing or taking off from American airports. Additionally, many other countries accept TSA qualification when making purchase decisions.
"Air Cargo Americas is a great venue for us to highlight our QS-B220. Our system is recognized in the air cargo screening field as the new standard in trace detection," stated Todd Swearingen, General Manager, Americas for Implant Sciences. "A number of prospective buyers have heard from our current users that the QS-B220 is technologically superior to the competition. We look forward to demonstrating the product's competitive advantages to buyers throughout the Americas."
"This is a critical and exciting time for Implant Sciences. The QS-B220 has achieved a string of regulatory successes so far this year, and our systems have built a reputation for being easy-to-use and low-cost to maintain. We believe that an investment in trade shows and exhibitions this fall will help us capitalize on this momentum and increase our market share," stated Implant Sciences' President and CEO, Glenn D. Bolduc.
The 2011, Air Cargo Americas International Congress and Exhibition was the largest air cargo exhibition in the Western Hemisphere, with 6,903 international aviation and maritime business executives from 65 countries visiting the exhibition. According to Air Cargo Americas, at the Air Cargo & Sea Cargo Americas 2011 exhibition, more than $101 million in actual and projected sales were reported by exhibitors.
