If you can see it, it’s not trace.

Trace drug evidence is invisible by definition. It sits on packaging, vehicles, currency, mail, and other surfaces in amounts too small for conventional bulk analysis.

With MX908, law enforcement teams can swab those surfaces and identify narcotics residues at the point of need, turning a clean-looking scene into actionable intelligence.

Because the evidence that matters most is often the evidence no one can see.

Your chemical detector may still power on. But can it identify what your team is facing today?

Novel opioids, clandestine lab chemicals, and complex mixtures are showing up on calls that older libraries were never built for. An outdated tool can mean an inconclusive result at the moment you need a decision.

908 Devices pairs field-proven FTIR, strengthened by our acquisition of RedWave Technology, with deep field analytics experience, so responders can identify unknowns with confidence at the point of need.

Fire Prevention Month is a reminder that protecting communities means being prepared for more than just the flames.

From industrial incidents and chemical releases to battery fires and unknown odors, today's fire and HazMat teams face gases and v***rs they can't see, but that directly shape decisions on PPE, evacuation, isolation zones, and response tactics.

XplorIR gives responders real-time gas and v***r identification and quantification at the point of need, so teams know what's in the air before they commit to a plan.

This October, we recognize the firefighters and HazMat professionals who prepare every day for the known and the unknown.

Identifying an unknown chemical on scene isn’t always straightforward — and getting it wrong affects everything from PPE to evacuation decisions. A new application note breaks down how combining FTIR and Raman in one workflow gives responders faster, more confident answers from a single sample, even with complex mixtures.

What if every drug seizure could tell you more about what is moving through your community?

NIRLab brings identification and quantification of common drugs directly to the point of need, providing results in seconds.

But the bigger opportunity comes from connecting those individual encounters.

Purity changes. New substances appear. Geographic patterns develop.

Field analysis can turn individual seizures into intelligence that helps agencies understand how the local drug supply is changing.

The label says industrial solvent. Is it?

Customs is the front line against mislabeled chemical shipments, including precursors used to make illicit drugs.

VipIR combines Raman and FTIR analysis with Smart Spectral Processing to help customs officers identify unknown powders, liquids, and solids from a single sample, and check whether what's inside matches what's declared.

More chemical information at the point of inspection can mean faster, better-informed decisions about what crosses the border.
