This looks like it:implantsciences.com Quantum Sniffer Technology The Quantum Sniffer employs a novel technology for the detection of explosives vapors that is more sensitive than existing detection devices. The advanced technique detects the presence of parts per trillion (ppt) of explosives molecules, without physical contact and in real time. The unique "tornado" sample acquisition system collects the sample, ionizes it with the unique QS™ opto/electrical ionization scheme, identifies the sample via standard ion mobility technology and, if an explosive is present, will produce a visual and audible alarm. The LCD will display the identity of the explosive present and the audible alarm can be switched off if required. QS-H100 The QS-H100 Portable Explosives Trace Detector was developed in conjunction with the U.S. Navy (NCIS and NAVEODTECHDIV) and PSEAG. The device is capable of detecting trace amounts of most commercial and military explosives, including RDX, PETN, HMX, Black Powder and Ammonium Nitrate at nanogram level concentrations. The detection is “real time” with immediate cleardown which dramatically improves throughput. The instrument is totally non-contact and does not use expensive consumables. The QS-H100 uses a proprietary opto/electrical ionization technique rather than a radioactive source for ionization and hence there is no need to deal with complicated NRC regulatory requirements.Product Features Unique tornado sample acquisition system Rapid analysis with immediate cleardown Automated self-calibration Detection in parts per trillion (ppt) 4-hour re-chargeable battery Other refs:implantsciences.com implantsciences.com Implant Sciences Corporation IMX - AMEX - $3.10Quantum Sniffer Demo (Wait for it - 23mb - it took a couple of minutes on my broadband connection to download!!!):implantsciences.com
