Narcotics Detection
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 spectrometry™ (HPMS) to detect trace-level drugs including meth, cocaine, heroin, and emerging classes such as cathinones and cannabinoids.
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.
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 ketamine, MDMA, and methamphetamine, 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.
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.
