Implant Sciences Completes Shipments of 750 ETD Systems to Support New EU Aviation Regulations

WILMINGTON, Mass., October 20, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- 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 completed shipment over 750 QS-B220 Desktop Explosives Trace Detectors across eleven European countries. These systems were sold between April and September, 2015, as EU airports sought to comply with new enhanced explosives screening requirements. Airport authorities that have selected Implant Sciences' trace detection systems include those located in France, the Netherlands, Norway, Finland, Germany, Belgium, Austria, Poland, the Czech Republic, Cyprus, and Romania.

"Although the majority of these units were shipped and installed for the September 1 EU regulatory deadline for international airports, some orders, such as the 304 unit order to France, required an immediate shipment to the larger airports, with additional units to be shipped in 2016-2017," stated Dr. Darryl Jones, Implant Sciences' Executive Vice President, Global Sales and Marketing. "We are also continuing to receive and ship follow-on orders to our customers as these EU airports expand the implementation of ETD screening."

"Over the past year, in anticipation of increased demand, we took significant steps to augment our production capacity. As a result, even with our unprecedented success in the European market over the last six months, our production team was able to systematically and effectively increase output to fulfill the orders," stated Dr. Bill McGann, Implant Sciences' CEO. "With quality at the forefront, we have built a sustainable and scalable production capacity to meet our expected demand for fiscal 2016 and for the years to come."
