UK & Australian Customs Investigate Innovative
Approach to Narcotic Detection
PERTH, WESTERN AUSTRALIA & SAN DIEGO, CA - June 7, 2006 - QRSciences (ASX:QRS)
(PINKSHEETS:QRSHY) is involved in coordinated testing with HM Customs and Australian Customs
Service looking at the capability of the Company’s Quadrupole Resonance (QR) technology for narcotic
detection. The next generation technology is being trialled to detect smuggled narcotics.
The illegal import of narcotics continues to be a significant global problem contributing to crime and
terrorism. In response QRSciences is extending the detection capability of its QR technology to include
narcotic substances that are of interest to the various regulators. The added functionality has been
incorporated into the current T3-03 product line, has undergone a series of independently verified tests
and is available for demonstration to customers.
“Several narcotics including Heroin, Cocaine and Methamphetamine have molecular characteristics
which exhibit quadrupolar behavior. Extending QR to include some of these drugs and their derivatives
significantly broadens the application of the technology,” said Dr. Timothy Rayner, Chief Technology
Officer, QRSciences. “This capability adds another important tool to the a r senal of equipment available
to Customs officers worldwide that can be used to interdict cargos of illegal narcotics” he concluded.
“Reducing the flow of narcotics is not only beneficial to Australia but also to other hotspots around the
world. There is particular interest in this capability in the Middle East and in parts of South East Asia”
said QRSciences Chief Executive Officer, Kevin Russeth. He also stated, “Both baggage and mail
packages entering most countries today are manually scanned using X-ray equipment for the presence
of narcotics the addition of this capability will allow for automated detection which may result in
increased performance.”
