XplorIR
908 Devices
The XplorIR by 908 Devices is the first handheld FTIR gas analyzer with the ability to identify over 5,600 gases at low part-per-million (ppm) concentrations. Designed specifically for emergency response professionals, hazmat teams, and industrial safety units, the XplorIR delivers unmatched performance in a lightweight, field-ready package.
Whether deployed at the scene of a hazmat spill, industrial accident, or unknown gas release, XplorIR allows responders to identify dangerous gases directly at the source—including toxic industrial compounds (TICs), flammables, corrosives, industrial gases, and chemical threats at operationally relevant concentrations.
Built on proven Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, XplorIR leverages advanced optics and proprietary algorithms to achieve lab-grade accuracy in harsh environments. It was developed in collaboration with emergency responders across the U.S., ensuring intuitive operation, even while wearing full PPE. Unlike other detectors that merely sense the presence of gas, the XplorIR provides clear identification of specific chemicals in real time—empowering teams to make fast, informed decisions and implement precise mitigation strategies. With decades of FTIR heritage behind it, and breakthrough improvements in field portability and sensitivity, XplorIR is the next-generation solution for gas identification in the field.
