Implant Sciences Sells 12 QS-B220 Explosives Trace Detectors to South Korea's Largest Airport

WILMINGTON, Mass., Sept. 9, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Implant Sciences Corporation (OTCQB: IMSC), a high technology supplier of systems and sensors for homeland security and defense markets, announced today it has sold 12 QS-B220 desktop explosives and drugs trace detectors to Incheon International Airport Corporation, operator of Incheon International Airport, the largest airport in South Korea. Implant Sciences' ETDs will be deployed for airport security and will replace existing systems the airport had in place from a competitor.

"This customer was looking to replace a competing installed product with a more cost-efficient, high-performance ETD from a company that provides superior customer service and support," stated Dr. Darryl Jones, Implant Sciences' Vice President of Global Sales and Marketing. "This airport had been evaluating our QS-B220, but the sale was contingent upon our system being added to the TSA's Qualified Products List. Upon being placed on the TSA's QPL, the customer immediately placed their order."

"At Implant Sciences, our commitment to a culture of service is a priority and we believe it differentiates us in the market. Our local distributor, A&T, has a strong track record, is one of the most active leaders of the security market in South Korea, and will provide service and support to Incheon International Airport. We are pleased to work with them," Jones added.
