Customs and border protection agencies face mounting pressure to quickly and accurately screen increasing volumes of cargo at ports of entry. Traditional screening methods using ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) are time-consuming, require frequent maintenance, and rely heavily on consumables. In contrast, handheld mass spectrometry tools like the MX908 offer a faster, more efficient alternative for trace-level chemical detection.

The MX908 utilizes High-Pressure Mass Spectrometry™ (HPMS) to detect and identify trace amounts of narcotics, explosives, and chemical threats with high sensitivity. It features:

  • <1 minute start-up time
  • Minimal consumables and maintenance
  • Real-time sample analysis
  • Drug Hunter mode & Fentanyl Classifier to identify 2,000+ fentanyl analogs without relying on a library
  • These capabilities streamline border inspections, enabling officers to screen low-risk items quickly and escalate suspicious ones effectively. By integrating tools like the MX908, border agencies can enhance security, disrupt drug trafficking networks, and reduce processing bottlenecks — all while maintaining high operational efficiency.

This application note highlights how VipIR™ and MX908® provide a layered detection solution to help customs and border protection agencies manage growing threats like narcotics, explosives, and chemical agents. VipIR uses FTIR and Raman with Smart Spectral Processing (SSP) for bulk chemical ID, while MX908 excels in trace-level (invisible) detection of evolving synthetic narcotics and precursors. Together, they enable fast triage and confident identification in high-pressure environments, helping officers respond effectively without disrupting commerce. This combined approach strengthens interdiction efforts at ports of entry by addressing both the volume and complexity of modern threats.

Fentanyl and counterfeit pills are extremely dangerous due to their potency and the increasing prevalence of such substances. In a recent study conducted by Dynata, half of the respondents believe fentanyl has significantly impacted their community, while 71% are unaware of new drug threats like nitazenes and captagon. Additionally, 15% feel inadequately informed and wish to learn more to protect themselves. It is crucial to discuss the dangers of fentanyl with friends and family to raise awareness and promote safety.
