The document discusses the challenges of identifying toxic gases, particularly due to interference from atmospheric components like water vapor and carbon dioxide, which are prevalent in the environment and can obscure spectral data. Traditional FT-IR methods struggle with these interferences, but the XplorIR® handheld device overcomes this limitation through advanced data processing algorithms, including Adaptive Atmospheric Correction and Intelligent Subspace Scaling. These techniques allow XplorIR to accurately identify toxic gases at low concentrations, even in the presence of water vapor and CO2, with high confidence levels. The device can identify a wide range of gases, including ammonia, sulfur dioxide, and hydrogen cyanide, with exceptional accuracy at operationally relevant concentrations. Extensive testing confirms the XplorIR’s ability to detect gases reliably, with minimal false negatives and no false positives, making it a crucial tool for emergency responders. Overall, XplorIR enhances the safety and efficiency of hazardous material detection in the field.

In emergency response and hazmat situations, it's important to distinguish between a device's "limit of detection" (LOD) and "limit of identification" (LOI), as these terms refer to different performance metrics. While LOD indicates the lowest concentration at which a device can detect the presence of a substance, LOI refers to the lowest concentration at which a device can accurately identify a chemical by matching it to reference data. Factors like the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), operational conditions, and the chemical properties of the substance affect the LOI. The XplorIR®, for example, uses Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and has two operational modes—Point Mode and Continuous Mode—both optimized for field conditions. LOI values are typically higher than LOD values and depend on factors such as humidity and the presence of interferents like CO2 or water vapor. Ultimately, understanding these metrics, including how mixed products and field conditions impact identification, is crucial for responders when evaluating device performance.

The MX908™ handheld high-pressure mass spectrometer is a cutting-edge device designed for effective threat detection across a wide range of target materials, including explosives, chemical warfare agents (CWAs), and drugs of abuse. It features a fast-switching dual-polarity ionization source and swappable front-end modules, enabling both real-time vapor monitoring at low ppb levels and thermal desorption of solid and liquid samples at nanogram levels. The instrument operates at higher pressures, eliminating the need for bulky, power-hungry vacuum pumps, and provides rapid sample-to-result times of about 30 seconds. Specialized mission modes, such as CW Hunter and Drug Hunter, optimize the device for detecting specific threats with high sensitivity and accuracy. The MX908 offers trace detection in both vapor and thermal desorption modes, with limits of detection in the low ppb and nanogram ranges, making it a versatile and efficient tool for real-time threat analysis.

The document discusses the development of a handheld high-pressure mass spectrometry (HPMS) platform, specifically the MX908, designed for use in field applications by military, law enforcement, and first responders. The device uses a fast-switching dual-polarity APCI (Atmospheric Pressure Chemical Ionization) source, enabling it to perform trace detection in both vapor and thermal desorption modes, with detection limits down to parts-per-billion (ppbv) in vapor mode and nanogram levels on swabs. The MX908 can analyze a wide range of threats, including explosives, narcotics, chemical warfare agents, and relevant precursors, all from a single sample. Its ability to operate at higher pressures (up to 10 Torr) eliminates the need for costly and bulky vacuum pumps, making it more portable and power-efficient. The system is capable of rapid analysis with a broad mass range (m/z ~50-550) and can detect multiple targets without switching samples or polarities. Key applications include the detection of drugs, explosives like PETN and RDX, and toxic chemicals such as sarin and VX, with further refinement and field testing underway.

This work explores the use of a handheld mass spectrometer for detecting fentanyl and its analogs, with a focus on optimizing in-source CID (collision-induced dissociation) for high sensitivity and selectivity, even in the presence of cutting agents. The system employs a low-pressure ion trap, dual-polarity corona discharge ionization, and thermal desorption for real-time vapor analysis, enabling detection of low-volatility substances like opioids. The study demonstrates that the system provides nanogram sensitivity, strong selectivity, and the ability to identify unknown fentanyl analogs through predictive fragmentation patterns. Additionally, the system showed superior performance compared to traditional optical methods in the analysis of contaminated fentanyl samples, achieving detection limits in the sub-100 ng range. The algorithm used in the mass spectrometer effectively identifies a wide range of fentanyl analogs based on mass spectral dissociation patterns. Overall, the handheld device proves to be a versatile tool for opioid detection and other applications.

The Aero attachment for the MX908 is designed for aerosol detection and identification, including chemical warfare agents and fentanyl analogs, by analyzing both vapor-phase and aerosolized particles. It captures particulate matter on a screen, which is then flash-heated for analysis by a miniaturized mass spectrometer, similar to thermal desorption techniques. The system is capable of trapping more than 80% of particles larger than 2.5 microns in diameter, ensuring effective detection of aerosols in dynamic, real-world environments. Testing under controlled and field conditions, including exposure to hazardous materials like Novichok nerve agents and fentanyl, demonstrated the Aero’s ability to detect aerosols at concentrations as low as 0.01 mg/m3. This makes the Aero a crucial tool for detecting a wide range of aerosolized threats, with minimal down-time and no need for user intervention.

Join industry experts as they discuss a groundbreaking FTIR technology designed to bridge the gap in the identification of gases for hazmat and CBRNe response. Most tools used by hazmat responders focus on real-time quantification of suspected gases without uniquely identifying them. The XplorIR addresses this issue with its ability to detect and identify gases in near real-time. This webinar also includes a comparison of the XplorIR to alternate methods of mass spectroscopy and colorimetric solutions.
In April 2024, 908 Devices acquired RedWave Technology, a leading provider of portable FTIR spectroscopic analyzers for rapid chemical identification of bulk substances.
Note: As of June 2024, the XplorIR Quantification Package is now available; offering real-time detection, identification, and quantification of nearly 5,000 gases and vapors in seconds.

About this Webinar
While the US is facing a severe synthetic opioid crisis, law enforcement is facing a trace identification problem. The outcome is a significant increase in overdose deaths related to fentanyl substances and their analogs. Transnational criminal organizations are exploiting the situation, especially in High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas (HIDTA), by introducing new synthetic psychoactive substances for substantial profits. Advanced trace-level identification technology is essential to combat this growing problem, as it surpasses mere detection capabilities.
Our panel of speakers describes how advanced trace-level identification technologies go beyond mere detection. The latest technology arms law enforcement and public safety agencies with new capabilities that can help disrupt and dismantle criminal organizations responsible for killing hundreds of thousands of Americans.
Key Webinar Takeaways:
- Learn about the latest advancements in trace-level identification technologies
- Explore strategies for implementing these technologies through HIDTAs and beyond
Who Should Watch?
- HIDTA personnel
- Partner agency law enforcement professionals
- Public health officials
- Policymakers

About this Webinar
Detecting and Identifying Narcotics that Infiltrate Corrections Facilities
It is difficult to detect and identify narcotics as they enter correctional facilities. Drugs like K2/spice and synthetic cathinones can be sprayed onto paper and discreetly hidden inside a piece of mail, or drugs can be thrown over barriers and into facilities. This webinar will cover the challenges related with drug use in correctional facilities, as well as the drug landscape.
- Guidelines for protecting police and detainees from potential risks.
- Case studies from prison facilities.
What Attendees Liked About this Presentation
- “The speaker was very knowledgeable and presented the material so it was easy to understand.”
- “Very informative. I got a lot of good information I previously did not have about the levels of the different drugs/substances that are dangerous/lethal as well as statistics on the level of use in institutions and the fatality rates.”
- “Very informative, great information. Excellent presentation.”

Despite the global trend of marijuana legalization, the illegal marijuana market continues to thrive, with criminal operations becoming more efficient. Many illegal growers are setting up “trespass grows” on public lands, bypassing regulations that ensure consumer safety and causing severe environmental damage. These grow operations often involve the use of toxic cannabis pesticides that harm wildlife, contaminate water supplies, and pose health risks to law enforcement and cleanup workers. In the U.S., the Forest Service has dismantled over 1,000 grow sites between 2017 and 2020, finding significant amounts of trash, hazardous chemicals, and illegal pesticides. Traditional detection methods for these chemicals, like colorimetric tests or lab-based mass spectrometry, are either imprecise or slow. To address this, the MX908 handheld mass spectrometer was developed, allowing for rapid and accurate identification of cannabis pesticides at illegal grow sites, enabling safer and more efficient cleanup operations.

Hazardous materials response teams often face high-pressure situations where they must quickly gather actionable information about chemical incidents, especially in high-profile settings like buildings with multiple illnesses. Initial reconnaissance (recon) efforts, using tools like multi-gas meters and photoionization detectors (PIDs), help identify potential hazards but often lack the sensitivity and specificity needed for decisive action. In these scenarios, high-pressure mass spectrometry (HPMS) technology offers a significant advantage by providing rapid, reliable chemical detection with high certainty. HPMS devices can identify chemical agents in just seconds, allowing responders to make quick, informed decisions regarding safety and medical treatment. Additionally, HPMS can switch between vapor and trace modes for on-site analysis, reducing the need for multiple surveys and speeding up the response process. This portable, fast, and accurate technology enhances the ability of response teams to effectively address chemical threats in various emergency situations.

Emergency responders face unique challenges when selecting personal protective equipment (PPE) and responding to hazardous materials, especially aerosols. Aerosols, which consist of solid or liquid particles suspended in the air, behave like gases but retain the properties of solids or liquids. These particles pose significant risks due to their ability to remain airborne and be inhaled, potentially leading to severe health hazards. Traditional detection methods struggle to identify aerosolized chemicals, as they typically require substances to be in solid, liquid, or gas form. Recent advancements, such as the MX908® with the Aero module, allow responders to detect and identify aerosolized threats in real-time, improving safety and response effectiveness. This technology helps manage the complexities of aerosol hazards by providing accurate, on-site identification of airborne chemical threats, including toxic materials like fentanyl and chemical warfare agents.

The poisoning of Sergei and Yulia Skripal in 2019 highlighted the global concerns about Fourth Generation Agents (FGAs), such as the Novichok series, which are highly toxic chemical agents. This document provides guidance for first responders on detecting, identifying, decontaminating, and destroying these agents using commercially available technologies. FGAs pose serious health risks, primarily through dermal exposure, but can also be absorbed via inhalation or ingestion. Detection technologies like Raman, FTIR, and colorimetric methods are inadequate for FGAs due to their high limits of detection. The MX908 from 908 Devices is the only portable device capable of identifying trace levels of A-series agents with high sensitivity. For decontamination, a hybrid approach is recommended, combining Fibertect wipes, Reactive Skin Decontamination Lotion (RSDL), and Dahlgren Decon, along with the use of detection devices to ensure complete removal of the threat.

Trace detection of hazardous materials, especially in light of the opioid epidemic and emerging threats like Novichoks, requires highly sensitive and reliable tools to detect both "invisible" (extremely small quantities) and "hidden" (small amounts mixed with larger, non-hazardous substances) threats. Current detection methods, such as ion mobility spectrometry (IMS), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GCMS), and optical techniques, face limitations in sensitivity, specificity, and operational efficiency. High-pressure mass spectrometry (HPMS), particularly the MX908 device, overcomes these limitations by offering both high sensitivity and fidelity, capable of detecting substances at concentrations as low as 20 nanograms. The HPMS's ability to generate mass spectral images allows for accurate identification and differentiation of chemicals, even in complex mixtures, and it can detect novel chemical threats using predictive algorithms. The MX908 combines the benefits of both trace and bulk detection, providing a powerful tool for emergency responders to handle the increasing variety of chemical hazards confidently and quickly.
[post_title] => A New Approach to Trace Detection
[post_excerpt] => Today’s emergency responders and security personnel need detection capabilities which address both categories with high sensitivity (the ability to detect threat materials below harmful levels) and high fidelity (the ability to detect reproducibly and reliably).
