Trace Chemical Detection for Customs Inspection
Enhance border security with fast, accurate chemical detection for customs inspections. Discover how MX908 handheld mass spectrometer streamlines trace drug identification and boosts operational efficiency at ports of entry.
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.
