Portable Mass Spectrometer
Real-time threats. Real-time detection.
MX908 is a multi-mission handheld, portable mass spectrometer utilized by elite responders conducting chemical, explosive, priority drug and HazMat operations around the world.

High selectivity and sensitivity for priority threats
Immediate actionable answers
Proven use in harsh operational environments

MX908 Beacon
Area Monitoring Accessory
Joint chemical agent detector for continuous, remote area monitoring of aerosol and vapor chemical threats.

Find it. Even at trace levels. MX908 detects compounds at trace levels with a high level of sensitivity and unparalleled selectivity, giving you actionable intelligence that other technologies can’t. The power of high-pressure mass spectrometry (HPMS) accurately discriminates priority threats from the broad range of interferents that lead to false alarms with other technologies.
Trusted by Industry Experts
Leaders and advocates in the field have confidence in the MX908. Tune in.
All Phase Detection
Solids
Solid samples and residues in both bulk and trace amounts such as narcotics and explosives can be collected with swabs and easily analyzed.
Liquids
Liquid samples such as various toxic industrial chemicals, and some chemical warfare agents can be collected with swabs and easily analyzed
Vapors
High volatility targets such as some chemical warfare agents, explosives, and toxic industrial chemicals can be analyzed instantaneously without the need for manual sampling.
Aerosols
Airborne chemical threats such as chemical warfare and pharmaceutical agents, as well as some drugs, can be analyzed simultaneously with other high volatility targets without the need for manual sampling.

Future Proof
The threat landscape will always evolve. MX908 evolves with it. Inside the device, algorithms and analytics analyze future threats like new fentanyl analogs and other novel material concerns in real time. Simple software updates support the ongoing needs of your mission.
Answers At Your Fingertips
Simply choose a mission and prepare your sample. MX908 uses on-screen instructions to guide you through the simple steps to analyze your chemical of interest. Intuitive alarms give you easily interpretable, actionable results in seconds.


World-Class Training
Every training session is administered by an expert in the field with decades of experience. Our trainers can teach you how to operate the MX908, but more importantly, they can share tactics and techniques that will enhance your ability to respond in any situation.
How Will You Use MX908?
Responders need detection and identification tools that keep pace with the evolving threat landscape. MX908 provides trace-level threat detection and discriminating selectivity for actionable answers in seconds.
