Premier CBRNE training facility uses 908
Devices MX908 portable mass spec devices for trace detection of
hazardous chemicals
908 Devices (NASDAQ:MASS), a pioneer of purpose-built handheld
and desktop mass spec devices for chemical and biomolecular
analysis, today announced it is teaming with Guardian Centers of
Georgia, a world-renowned training facility that specializes in
Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and Explosives (CBRNE)
programs. Trusted by thousands of first responders, Guardian
Centers of Georgia educates clientele with classroom-based courses
and realistic practicum experience to identify, analyze and respond
to new and evolving threats. Guardian Centers of Georgia’s use of
908 Devices MX908 has been integral to this training, particularly
given the MX908’s trace detection capabilities that identify
hazardous materials in real-time.
“Our programs seek to give trainees critical information quickly
so they can make sound decisions in high-stress environments,” said
Tim Maloney, EVP of Operations and Training at the Guardian Centers
of Georgia. “The MX908 gives us a level of confidence that can
affect change, which isn’t possible with other tools. That, in
turn, increases speed, efficacy and accuracy, which are essential
for highly sensitive field work, and ensures first responders are
safe no matter the threat they encounter. We look forward to
growing our relationship with 908 Devices and continuing to serve
as the premier training facility for CBRNE and disaster
preparedness.”
The MX908 is a handheld device that identifies trace elements of
solid, liquid, vapor or aerosol in seconds. Its portability, speed
and ease of use make it an ideal tool to use in the field,
replacing other technologies that aren’t as accurate or intuitive.
Users simply prepare their sample, input it in the MX908 and
receive an on-screen alert with the substance makeup as well as
more details to understand the scope of the threat. As a
critical-to-life device, the MX908 is used in the Guardian Centers’
training program – both the classroom portion and field scenarios –
to quickly identify chemicals and drugs.
“Our MX908 device is used by government agencies, police
departments and specialized teams to quickly detect hazardous
materials and keep the public safe,” said John Kenneweg, Vice
President of Government at 908 Devices. “Given the extensive
training Guardian Centers of Georgia conducts, it has been a
natural evolution to team with them as they educate thousands of
global first responders on the tactics, techniques and procedures
to successfully execute downrange operations safely and
effectively. It’s yet another part of our journey to democratize
mass spec and we’re proud to support Guardian Centers of Georgia in
their training efforts.”
