   Implant Sciences Announces Follow-On Order to Africa for Hotel Security

   WILMINGTON, MA–(Marketwire -07/12/12)- Experiencing growing demand from Africa, Implant Sciences Corporation (IMSC) (IMSC), a high technology supplier of systems and sensors for homeland security and defense markets, today announced it has sold six more Quantum Sniffer™ QS-H150 handheld explosives trace detectors to a customer in Lagos, Nigeria. The units will be used in screening luggage and cars entering the hotel property.

   “We have been increasing our sales to private sector customers across the African continent, including office buildings, industrial facilities, and hotels. The fact that six units are being deployed by one hotel is an indication of the growing demand for security devices in private sector settings and showcases the potential Implant Sciences has to meet the needs of this emerging market,” stated Implant Sciences’ Vice President of Global Sales and Marketing, Dr. Darryl Jones.

   “We expect to see additional sales to Nigeria as well as to the rest of Northern and Sub-Saharan Africa. Because our systems do not use any radioactive materials, they are the desired choice for use in private sector settings. Our sales and distribution teams continue to win contracts due to our Quantum Sniffers’ superior performance and technology. These competitive advantages enable us to effectively execute around the globe,” added Glenn Bolduc, Implant Sciences’ President and CEO.
