Implant Sciences Corporation (OTCQB: IMSC), a leading manufacturer of explosives trace detection (ETD) and drugs trace detection solutions for homeland security applications, today announced that it has received a follow-on order for 13 additional QS-B220 Desktop Explosives Trace Detectors, which will be deployed at airports in Belgium.
Under new regulations adopted in Europe, implementation of ETD screening at EU airports with over 500,000 annual passengers was mandated to be in place by September 1, 2015. As part of this initial mandated deployment, airports in Belgium initially had purchased and successfully deployed 33 of Implant Sciences' QS-B220s for passenger checkpoint screening.
"Although the date for mandatory implementation of ETD systems in larger European airports has passed, we are continuing to see demand for our QS-B220 in this vertical and region," stated Dr. Darryl Jones, Implant Sciences' Executive Vice President. "We do not view the impact of the EU regulations as driving a single purchasing period from EU airports. Rather, as evidenced by this follow-on order in Belgium, we expect to continue to see demand for our units from these airports and from regional airports in Europe, where mandatory ETD screening regulations will take effect in March 2017."
