Handheld mass spectrometer identifies explosive hazards


Conventional mass spectrometers are typically confined to centralized laboratories by their large size, fragility and complexity of operation and maintenance. 908 Devices’ M908 is a handheld device using high-pressure mass spectrometry that detects and identifies trace-level chemicals and explosive hazards at the point-of-action. Suitable for civilian users, first responders and military teams, the device weighs less than 2 kg and is battery-powered for continuous operation in the field. It uses diminutive ion traps that measure less than a millimetre in diameter and that are capable of operation at 10,000 times higher pressure than those in conventional MS systems. It also meets MIL-STD-810G standards.908 Devices
