We Hope to See You at the CBRNe Research & Innovation Conference
Organizers from the local French & German Committee (including responders from the Fire Brigades, Emergency Medical Services, Police, Gendarmerie, bomb disposal experts and scientists from the University of Strasbourg) are currently making strong efforts for preparing demonstrations and workshops, and the members of our scientific committee are on board to build a highly relevant scientific program.
Learn about this conference.

908 Devices is looking forward to engaging with attendees at the CBRNE Research & Innovation Conference. The importance of focusing on scientific updates, responders’ feedback and expression of needs related to Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and Explosive (CBRNE) agents is important to us. Stop by and learn how our technologies address these needs.

Oral Presentation
DETC-9. The Aero – A new capability to rapidly detect aerosolized threats in the field.
Tuesday, 19 March
16:15 – 17:45
Detection C
For the emergency responder, the threat landscape is diverse and continuously evolving. Fourth generation agents (FGAs aka Novichoks), pharmaceutical based agents (PBA), and other materials demonstrate that chemical warfare agents have continued to evolve since WWII. Following the use of FGAS in Salisbury, UK, the US Department of Health and Human Services published a safety awareness bulletin for on-scene responders, noting that the ability to detect FGAs was limited. Pharmaceutical based agents, such as those used in the Moscow Theater Crisis (2002) demonstrate the effectiveness of highly toxic synthetic materials being dispersed as an aerosol—a threat which legacy CW equipment can’t monitor or detect reliably. Learn how and why these emerging threats challenge legacy equipment, and how emerging technology can help not only detect but identify these materials in the solid, liquid, vapor, or aerosolized form to allow for real time, tactical decision making on PPE, casualty management, sampling, and decontamination operations.
MX908 Beacon
Area Monitoring Accessory
MX908 Beacon is the only area monitoring solution that provides identification of aerosol and vapor chemical warfare agents (CWAs) and pharmaceutical based agents (PBAs).
