Implant Sciences Partners with RAE Systems to Integrate Advanced Explosives Detection with Wireless AreaRAE Sensor Networks.WAKEFIELD, Mass. and SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Implant Sciences Corporation (AMEX AMEX See: American Stock Exchange : IMX IMX In My eXperience IMX Interactive Music Exchange (TV show) IMX Integrated Multimedia Exchange IMX Industrywide Mortgage Exchange IMX Intermodal Marketing Extension IMX Inverse Multiplexor ), a developer and manufacturer of products for national security, medicine and industry, and RAE Systems Inc. (AMEX: RAE), a leading global provider of rapidly deployable sensor networks that enable customers to identify safety and security threats in real time, today announced RAE Systems has signed an agreement with Implant Sciences to explore the deployment of Implant Science's QS-H150 Portable Explosives Trace Detector Explosives trace detector's (ETD) are security equipment able to detect explosives of small magnitude. Devices similar to ETDs are also used to detect narcotics. The equipment is used mainly in airports and other vulnerable areas considered susceptible to acts of unlawful into AreaRAE wireless sensor networks. "Homeland security customers worldwide are continually looking for more sensitive and non-invasive explosive detection solutions. This partnership with Implant Sciences expands RAE Systems' open wireless network strategy for meeting the Chemical, Biological, Radiation, Nuclear and Explosive (CBRNE CBRNE Chemical Biological Radiological Nuclear Explosive CBRNE chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and high yield explosives (US DoD) CBRNE Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and Enhanced Conventional Weapons ) detection needs of first responders for public venue protection," said Robert Chen, chief executive officer for RAE Systems. "The QS-H150 Portable Explosives Trace Detector is capable of detecting trace amounts of most commercial and military explosives, including RDX RDX Cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine (CAS Number 121-82-4) Rdx Radixin RDX Russian Depositary Index RDX Research and Development Explosive (less common) RDX Hexahydro-Trinitro-Triazine , PETN PETN Pentaerythrite Tetranitrate (explosive) , HMX, TNT TNT: see trinitrotoluene.
