kicks off this weekend in Orlando! 🚔

Officers need answers on scene. New adulterants like xylazine and nitazenes are changing the drug supply. And every unknown powder puts officers at risk.

At Booth 2443, see how agencies are getting answers in the field. MX908 detects invisible trace residue on vehicles, packaging, and surfaces. NIRLab identifies bulk powders and pills. Together, they turn a roadside encounter into actionable intelligence.

Stop by for a live demo and ask how agencies are funding deployment through federal grants.

See you in Orlando!

A traffic stop uncovers suspicious packaging and an unknown powder. What’s the next step?

Start with what the evidence is telling you. Residue on a wrapper and a bag of powder are two different questions, and each calls for its own analytical approach.

MX908 identifies trace narcotics residue on surfaces and packaging. NIRLab provides rapid identification and purity information for supported bulk drug samples.

Used together, they give officers a fuller picture on scene to support interdiction and ongoing investigations.

From invisible trace to visible bulk, get answers that move investigations forward.

A drum with no label. A spill of unknown liquid. A powder where it shouldn’t be. What is it?

Until it’s identified, every decision on scene carries risk for responders, HazMat teams, and the community they protect.

Still relying on aging handheld FTIR? ProtectIR delivers modern, portable chemical identification for unknown solids and liquids, so teams can make PPE, entry, and mitigation decisions with confidence.

Turn uncertainty into certainty.

Last week, we hosted our EMEA and LATAM Partners Meeting in Malta. 🌍

56 attendees from 35 partner organizations traveled from 37 countries to join us. Together, they help bring 908 Devices technology to responders and agencies in more than 50 countries.

Thank you to every partner for your continued dedication to the mission. We can’t wait to see what we accomplish together in 2027.

Unknown chemicals rarely arrive as clean, straightforward samples.

Mixtures, colored materials, liquids, and powders can stump a single technique, and that gap costs responders time on scene.

VipIR integrates FTIR and Raman in one handheld device. One instrument to carry, one workflow to run, and two complementary techniques working the same unknown, so teams reach a confident decision in the field.

Because the sample shouldn’t get to choose which tool you brought with you.

If you can see it, it’s not trace.

Trace drug evidence is invisible by definition. It sits on packaging, vehicles, currency, mail, and other surfaces in amounts too small for conventional bulk analysis.

With MX908, law enforcement teams can swab those surfaces and identify narcotics residues at the point of need, turning a clean-looking scene into actionable intelligence.

Because the evidence that matters most is often the evidence no one can see.

Your chemical detector may still power on. But can it identify what your team is facing today?

Novel opioids, clandestine lab chemicals, and complex mixtures are showing up on calls that older libraries were never built for. An outdated tool can mean an inconclusive result at the moment you need a decision.

908 Devices pairs field-proven FTIR, strengthened by our acquisition of RedWave Technology, with deep field analytics experience, so responders can identify unknowns with confidence at the point of need.
