TRACE Analytics
908 Devices is dedicated to providing next-generation chemical analysis tools that deliver rapid, field-ready solutions for vital health, safety, and defense applications. Their mission is to make the invisible visible and the unknown known through advanced portable detection technologies. They serve first responders, law enforcement, border security, military, correctional facilities, and the life sciences sector by enabling quick and accurate identification of chemical threats, drugs, pesticides, and hazardous materials at the point of need. Their innovative handheld devices leverage high-pressure mass spectrometry (HPMS) to provide fast, reliable, and easy-to-use analysis in challenging environments.
