Our History

In 2012, we set out to revolutionize mass spec for chemical detection. It’s about making things simpler. Making things that help people do their jobs better. Finding new ways to democratize technology and put it in the hands of anyone.

Naming the company was one of our biggest hurdles. 908 Devices is a reference to 0.908, which is a point of stability and instability within ion trap mass spectrometers—the point at which the magic happens!
