MX908
MX908™ leverages high-pressure mass spectrometry™ (HPMS) to deliver enhanced sensitivity and threat category coverage. MX908 can detect and identify trace quantities (low - mid ppb) of priority threats amongst a myriad of interferents. It is capable of identifying a broad range of targets in solid, liquid, gas/vapor, or aerosol form.
