As we wait for confimation for pass.screening and TSA follow up order, just a reminder of why Implants 220 will be the leader in the ETD space.
>>>"Explosive detection using Ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) is based on velocities of ions in a uniform electric field. There are some variant to IMS such as Ion trap mobility spectrometry (ITMS) or Non-linear dependence on Ion Mobility (NLDM) which are based on IMS principle. The sensitivity of devices using this technology is limited to pg levels.The presence of radioactive materials in these equipments cause regulatory hassles and requires special permissions at customs ports. These detectors cannot be field serviced and may pose radiation hazard to the operator if the casing of the detector cracks due to mishandling. Bi-yearly[clarification needed] checks are mandatory on such equipment in most countries by regulating agencies to ensure that there are no radiation leaks. Disposal of these equipments is also controlled owing to the high half-life of the radioactive material used."<<<

Thank goodness there is a new ETD application -to overcome the limitations mentioned above...Implants QS-b220...
