908 Devices Launches a 3-in-1 Handheld Analyzer

VipIR, a 3-in-1 handheld analyzer from 908 Devices Inc., sets a new benchmark for quick and reliable field-based chemical identification of unknown bulk solids and liquids, including dangerous compounds, explosives, and drugs. By streamlining processes and removing uncertainty, VipIR helps hazardous response teams and customs and border staff make decisions more quickly on the spot.

Smart Spectral Processing (SSP), a patented algorithm at the core of VipIR, dynamically combines data from FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared) and Raman spectroscopy to analyze complicated or mixed chemicals from a single sample. There is no need for repositioning or repeated sampling. SSP provides a more precise and trustworthy chemical identification of an unknown material by using the findings of one spectroscopy technology to improve or validate the other spectroscopy technology.

“VipIR is redefining chemical analysis at the point of need with its combination of lab-grade analytical technologies, sophisticated algorithms and a simple, smart workflow that provides one confident result,” said Kevin J. Knopp, CEO and Co-founder, 908 Devices. “This new chemical analyzer reinforces our commitment to providing frontline teams with next-generation tools that deliver confident, reliable answers.”

Other VipIR features include:

• A vast collection of more than 39,000 chemical spectra, encompassing ordinary compounds, explosives, chemical warfare agents, dangerous industrial products, and pharmaceuticals
• FTIR and Raman analysis are incorporated into a unique SSP single sample interface; other sampling techniques include an integrated vial holder and a flexible Raman probe.
• Fast data uploads, simplified reporting, and fleet administration using the Team Leader software from 908 Devices are made possible by integrated Wi-Fi and cellular connectivity.
• Robust, lightweight construction
