Morpho X-ray systems added to TSA list

NEWARK, Calif., Nov. 3 (UPI) -- The U.S. Transportation Security Administration has added six Morpho Detection Inc. X-ray screening products to its qualified technology list.

The air cargo screeners added to the agency's Qualified Technology List are the HRX 650, HRX 750, HRX 1000, HRX 1000 DV, HRX 1500 and HRX 1800.

"Air cargo businesses now have a new range of quality, TSA-compliant screening options for custom solutions to their specific X-ray system needs," said Dennis Cooke, president and chief executive officer of Morpho Detection. "Morpho Detection's qualified technology-listed HRX X-ray systems are specifically designed to meet the demanding air cargo industry requirements."

The HRX models' qualifications are part of TSA's Certified Cargo Screening Program, an initiative to employ supply chain solutions to enable air cargo industry compliance with screening regulations.

The California company also announced it has been contracted by Airport Authority of Hong Kong to install four CTX 9400 DSi explosives detection systems at Hong Kong International Airport.

The systems will replace the airport's existing deployment of Morpho Detection's CTX 5500 DS scanners. Both models use computed tomography imaging technology, but the CTX 9400 DSi offers higher resolution on-screen images, allowing system operators to make smarter, safer, faster decisions.
