ThreatID™

908 Devices

The ThreatID™ by 908 Devices is a state-of-the-art handheld chemical identifier developed in collaboration with first responders across the United States. Powered by advanced FTIR spectroscopy, it enables rapid identification of unknown solids, liquids, and mixtures—even in complex real-world scenarios.

Designed for hazmat teams, military, and emergency response personnel, the ThreatID delivers high-confidence results through a multi-tiered data analysis methodology. This unique approach allows the instrument to break down complex mixtures and assess the individual hazards of each major component—providing a more complete understanding of the threat.

Built with field use in mind, ThreatID is lightweight, rugged, and easy to operate. Its intuitive user interface and ergonomic form factor allow first responders to work quickly and efficiently, even in high-stress environments and while wearing PPE.

Features

Capable of identifying more than 23,000 solids and liquids
Capable of identifying more than 5,000 gases and vapors as low as 25 ppm
4-meter gas cell
Swap from ATR to gas cell (and back) in less than 10 seconds w/ no re-alignment necessary
Adaptable to all sample collection methods (Tedlar bags, PID w/ outlet, syringe, canister, pump, etc.)
No downtime from over-saturation

FTIR Technology

Any substance in contact with the diamond surface is interrogated by IR energy and a spectrum is acquired that is a characteristic pattern of the substance. In seconds, this IR “fingerprint” is automatically compared with libraries of digital reference spectra – Toxic Industrial Chemicals (TICs), Narcotics (including Fentanyl), Explosives, Pesticides, Weapons of Mass Destruction, Chemical Warfare Agents, and common household chemicals.

23,000 Substance Library

ThreatID comes standard with more than 23,000 reference spectra of pure substances and common mixtures including WMD’s (w/ Novichok agents), explosives and drugs including fentanyl & fentanyl derivatives. All library spectra are matched to RedWave’s proprietary onboard chemical information database, ThreatAssistTM. Web-based chemical informational databases such as NIOSH, PubChem and WISER are automatically searched with push-button links for all library files as well.

ThreatAssist

The ThreatAssist onboard database provides additional information on any library entry such as chemical name, synonyms, common use, hazards and PPE as well as many more chemical-specific properties. With the click of a button, all information about the sample and spectrometer, including spectra, library hits, data manipulation, system health and date/time of sample acquisition can be sent via email, directly from the spectrometer.
