We have developed several explosives detection systems designed for use in aviation and transportation security, high threat facilities and infrastructure, military installations, customs and border protection, and mail and cargo screening. The systems use our proprietary Quantum SnifferTM technologies, including a photon-based, non-radioactive ion source in combination with ion mobility spectrometry, a classic detection tool sensitive to the unique speeds with which ions of various substances move through the air (“IMS”) to electronically detect minute quantities of explosives vapor and particles.

Quantum SnifferTM QS-H150 Portable Explosives Detector
The Quantum Sniffer QS-H150 Portable Explosives Detector employs a patented vortex collector for the simultaneous detection of explosives particulates and vapors with or without physical contact and in real-time. We believe that our advanced QS-H150 is more sensitive than other detection devices. The QS-H150 can detect vapors and nanogram quantities of explosives particulates for most explosives substances considered to be threats. Such substances include, but are not limited to, military and commercial explosives, improvised and homemade explosives, and propellants and taggants.
The QS-H150 has automatic and continuous self-calibration. It monitors its environment, senses changes that would affect its accuracy, and re-calibrates accordingly. The system requires no user intervention and no calibration consumables. The detection process begins with the collection of a sample with our patented vortex collector. After collection, the sample is ionized photonically and analyzed using IMS technology. The presence of a threat substance is indicated by visible and audible alarms. The threat substance is then identified and displayed on the integrated LCD screen.
When detecting a threat substance, the QS-H150 rapidly alarms. This real-time detection limits equipment contamination and allows for fast clear-down. Operation and maintenance are cost-effective. Since there is no requirement for dopants, calibration consumables or verification consumables, the overall cost of consumables are minimized. Routine maintenance consists only of care and cleaning using common supplies, and desiccant replacement as required. No radioactive material is used in the QS-H150, so there are no associated certifications, licenses, inspections, or end-of-life disposal issues.
Quantum SnifferTM QS-BTS Benchtop Explosives Detector
The two part QS-BTS systems consist of our QS-H150 Portable Explosives Detector, along with a base unit which contains a monitor, printer and power supply. The QS-BTS functions as a benchtop system with the added capability of functioning as a portable, hand-held trace explosives detector. Optionally, and at any time, the base unit may be connected for convenient access to spectrogram display and analysis tools, administrative tools, and diagnostics.
Products Under Development
Quantum SnifferTM QS-H300 Air Cargo Screening System
We are developing a hand sampler detector that utilizes our proprietary jetted vortex collector for non-contact collection of trace particulate materials. We believe the hand sampler, which will be a compact, lightweight device, could significantly improve explosives detection capabilities while also being very user friendly. Our non-contact method could prove to be more effective than traditional contact sample collection methods, and at a much lower cost to users. This improved sampling process has applicability for use in detecting trace amounts of explosives found on a wide range of objects such as carry-on luggage, parcels, packages and cargo. In addition, multiple handheld sampling units could be systematically deployed in concert with a centralized trace explosives detection system to improve efficiency and increase the number of articles screened. We believe this product could usher in a new way of thinking about how cargo and other items can be properly examined in a cost-effective and user-friendly manner. We introduced the QS-H300 at the AVSEC 2008 exhibition in Seoul, South Korea in November 2008. Further development of the QS-H300 has been delayed, however, as we focus our efforts on increasing revenues from sales of the QS-H150 portable explosives detector.
