Mass spectrometry for fast action in the field
FLIR’s Griffin G510 GC/MS and 908 Devices’ MX908 HPMS are portable mass spectrometers that provide rapid identification of chemical agents – even at trace-level – allowing emergency services to respond quickly to incidents and act immediately. They are standalone systems that can be used to analyze complex samples in various matrices and mediums such as fire debris to detect ignitable residues.
Instances in which the mass spectrometers can be deployed include:
- Forensics investigations to detect and identify accelerants.
- Rapid detection and identification of explosives and Chemical Warfare Agents (CWA).
- Various hazardous materials including Toxic Industrial Chemicals (TIC) after accidents or spillages.
- On-the-scene narcotics detection and identification, including synthetic opioids such as fentanyl and nitazenes.
