908 Devices Partners with Tennessee State and Local Agencies in the Fight Against Drug Trafficking Through a New Pilot Program

Business Wire
908 Devices Inc, (Nasdaq: MASS), a pioneer of purpose-built
handheld and desktop devices for chemical and biochemical analysis,
announces that several Tennessee drug task forces, law enforcement
agencies and county sheriffs’ offices have chosen to implement the
company’s MX908 handheld mass spectrometer to enhance the speed and
efficiency of their drug identification processes.
The MX908 handheld mass spectrometer enables law enforcement
agencies to identify drugs in both trace and bulk amounts quickly
and accurately. With its unique ability to detect and analyze a
wide range of chemical substances, the MX908 has become an
invaluable tool for drug interdiction operations.
The pilot program aims to introduce the MX908 to law enforcement
agencies across the state. Its main objective is to decrease the
quantity of controlled substance samples that are sent to the
laboratory for testing. This will be achieved by relocating the
testing process to law enforcement locations, similar to how breath
alcohol content is tested currently. As a result, overall wait
times at the laboratory will be reduced, enabling forensic experts
to prioritize and expedite the analysis of more crucial samples.
Also, it is expected that the entire judicial process will
encounter fewer delays due to reduced wait times for laboratory
results.
Moreover, the MX908's swift and reliable drug identification
capabilities enable law enforcement officers to ensure that
individuals who are prosecuted for drug-related offenses enter drug
treatment programs much sooner. By accelerating the identification
process, the MX908 helps bridge the gap between law enforcement and
rehabilitation, offering individuals a chance for timely
intervention and support.
"We are delighted to partner with Tennessee state and local
agencies in their tireless efforts to combat drug trafficking,"
said Kevin J. Knopp, CEO and Co-founder of 908 Devices. "The MX908
handheld mass spectrometer empowers law enforcement agencies and
drug task forces to make faster and more informed decisions in the
field, ultimately leading to safer communities and improved public
health outcomes."
