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

QS-H150 OPERATION

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.

Start Sampling Mode1. 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:

QS-H150 provides audible feedback during sampling

Simultaneous non-contact explosive trace and vapor sampling

Get ResultsNo Explosive Trace• The QS-H150 shows that

nothing has been detected and automatically prepares for another sample.

Explosive Detected• QS-H150 sounds alarm and

displays substance detected

• After operator acknowledges alarm, the H150 self-cleans to prepare for the next sample.

WIPE SAMPLING OPERATIONWhen operations require contact sampling, the QS-H150 is ready.

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

Only the QS-H150 allows users to switch between non-contact particle and vapor sampling and wipe sampling without system reconfiguration or recalibration.

Sample the way you want, when you want.

THE QS-H150 AT WORK

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.

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

IonizationRegion

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

MAINTENANCE AND UPKEEP

The QS-H150 is designed to minimize ownership costs. The system is very low maintenance and requires far fewer consumablesupplies than other detectors.

MaintenanceQS-H150• Replace molecular sieve• Keep air inlets and vents

free of dust

• Automated deep clean and regeneration when needed

• 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

Other unit

QS-H150 maintenance typically requires only a few minutes once or twice a week.

ConsumablesQS-H150• Sample Traps (if desired)• Molecular Sieve (a

dehumidifying agent)

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

Annual operating expense for the QS-H150 can be 10% or less of the cost for other detection units.

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
