Drug Detector
Actionable Intelligence in Real Time
Detect and identify a broad range of priority drugs at trace levels in seconds.
Identify Drugs
Illicit drugs come in many forms – from street cut powders and counterfeit pills, to bulk shipments intercepted at border crossings. Emerging synthetic drugs make it challenging for law enforcement to keep up.
MX908 delivers exceptional selectivity and sensitivity for identification of priority drugs. This handheld tool leverages high-pressure mass spectrometryâ„¢ (HPMS) to detect trace-level drugs including nitazenes, meth, cocaine, heroin, and emerging classes such as cathinones and cannabinoids.
Emerging Synthetic Opioids: Nitazenes
As the landscape of controlled substances continues to evolve, we may be facing the next wave of the opioid crisis—one driven by nitazenes. Due to their extreme potency, nitazenes can cause rapid and severe respiratory depression, increasing the likelihood of fatal overdose. It is the same extreme potency that makes this a unique identification challenge suitable only for trace identification by devices like the MX908.
Detect Trace Levels of Controlled Substances
The MX908 allows law enforcement to rapidly identify trace levels of controlled substances in the field, offering accurate, on-the-spot detection that improves officer safety, assists investigations, and aids the legal process by establishing probable cause in drug-related cases.
24/7/365 Reachback Analysis
At 908 Devices, we understand the challenges law enforcement faces when identifying unknown substances in the field. That’s why our commitment goes beyond the device itself. Our Reachback service gives officers direct access to a team of expert chemists who provide rapid spectral analysis and real-time guidance during drug interdiction efforts.
Whether you’re dealing with a complex mixture, an unfamiliar result, or simply need a second opinion, our chemists are on standby to support your decisions in the moment. Reachback helps you act with confidence, ensuring you have expert backup when it matters most.
Drug Detector
908 Devices continues to update the MX908 target list due to the evolving drug landscape, ensuring our customers can keep pace with the most relevant threats. This includes drug trends such as Pink Cocaine, or Tusi—a powerful cocktail of substances that actually contains a mixture of substances, rather than cocaine, as its name suggests.
Drug Identification for Corrections
The MX908 rugged, hand-held mass spectrometer can be used to detect and identify drugs in a variety of situations. From bulk powders to trace amounts of drugs embedded in paper, get quick answers to keep officers and inmates safe.
Drug Detector Provides Actionable Intelligence In-Hand
Emergency responders, law enforcement, and border security agents need immediate and actionable intelligence on a wide variety of known and unknown materials. A simple swab test with an MX908 provides answers in seconds for field analysis, clandestine lab remediation, and checkpoint operations.
