The 2026 FIFA World Cup is coming to North America — and with millions of fans filling stadiums across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, security teams have never had more ground to cover. ⚽🏟️

Large-scale sporting events are prime soft targets. Chemical threats at crowded venues can escalate in seconds — which is why rapid detection and identification isn't just an advantage. It's a necessity.

908 Devices' field-deployable chemical detection tools give security and HazMat teams the ability to identify unknown substances on-site, in real time — no lab, no delay.

🔬 Fast. Accurate. Fieldable.

When the world is watching, protecting the public starts with knowing what you're up against.

AFG funding isn’t just about replacing gear — it’s about closing critical capability gaps that directly impact responder safety.

The Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) is now open and was created to improve operational readiness and protect personnel on the front lines. XplorIR aligns directly with that mission.

✔ Rapid identification of toxic industrial chemicals and CWAs
✔ On-scene quantification to guide PPE and evacuation decisions
✔ Faster, safer return to service after decontamination

When seconds matter, knowing exactly what’s in the air changes everything.

If your department is looking to strengthen hazmat response capabilities, now is the time to pursue AFG funding for technology that delivers measurable impact. Contact us to discuss: https://bit.ly/4wD9C7z

According to the National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA), over 488,500 hazmat calls were made to fire departments in 2024.

Most begin the same way: an unknown odor. A civilian report. No information on what's in the air.

XplorIR changes the response entirely — continuous monitoring, real-time gas identification, and on-device concentration levels versus exposure limits.

Designed to be activated in fully encapsulated suits. Large buttons. Audible alarms. Visual alerts.

Built for the call. Built for the responder. https://bit.ly/3PJqCZ0

What does a proactive overdose response look like inside a correctional facility?

In this clip from our recent webinar, hear how Virginia's Department of Corrections is taking a bold, technology-forward approach under Operation FREE — using MX908 handheld mass spectrometry to detect drugs before they become a crisis, not after. Virginia went a step further: Virginia DFS approval of the MX908 allows law enforcement officers to testify to its presumptive drug field-test results in qualifying preliminary hearings under Virginia law.
