908 Devices unveils hazmat tech

908 Devices reports that there were 488,500 hazmat calls in 2024, most of which begin with an unknown odor and no immediate information about airborne substances.

The company introduced XplorIR, a device providing real-time gas identification, continuous air monitoring, and immediate exposure limit comparisons. This technology is designed to support first responders and safety teams by accelerating hazard assessments during chemical emergencies. XplorIR aims to address frequent information gaps in hazardous material incidents, allowing teams to act faster and with greater confidence.

908 Devices previously deployed its VipIR and MX908 instruments for chemical identification during a simulated mass casualty drill at the University of New Haven. The company has also detailed challenges in detecting drug-laced paper designed to bypass visual and K9 checks. These efforts focus on improving rapid detection and response during critical incidents.
