The Quantum Sniffer QS-B220 is a desktop explosives and drugs detector. The QS-B220 collects particulate matter and can detect a wide range of explosives and drugs down to the parts per trillion. This QS-B220 produces non-radioactive ions which make it cheaper to operate and easier to transport due to regulations relating to radioactive devices such as the AIT full body scanners.

It is manufactured by Implant Sciences Corp. who tout it's low cost, effectiveness, ease of use and automatic calibration. According to Implant Sciences possible errors are eliminated because the QS-B220 automatically calibrates itself according to it's environment. The device takes about 30 minutes to warm up and only takes about 10 seconds to "clear-down". The QS-B220 can collect a minimum of 180 samples per hour as long as there are no detections.

It is in the final testing phase before receiving certification from the Transportation Security Laboratory (TSL) which does testing for the TSA. The TSA will use the device to inspect cargo at airports. The QS-B220 is already in use by many corporations and governments around the world.

The Implant Services Corporation stock (IMSC.PK) has risen recently due to anticipation of the QS-B220's use by the TSA.
