ProtectIR

ProtectIR from 908 Devices is a portable FTIR spectrometer designed for the rapid identification of unknown solid and liquid substances directly in the field. The instrument uses ATR FTIR (Attenuated Total Reflectance) technology with a diamond ATR crystal, enabling straightforward sample analysis without complex preparation. The advanced Condensed Phase Mixture Analysis algorithm can detect multi-component samples with unprecedented accuracy, where traditional FTIR technologies often fail.

ProtectIR is designed for use by security services, HAZMAT teams, military forces, police, customs authorities, and forensic laboratories. The instrument enables the rapid identification of narcotics, explosives, toxic industrial chemicals (TICs), precursors, and other unknown chemical substances.

Thanks to its intuitive operation and rugged construction, ProtectIR is suitable for deployment in demanding conditions. With advanced algorithms for processing measured spectra, ProtectIR provides laboratory-grade identification of even complex mixture samples in a compact handheld instrument, helping response teams make rapid and safe decisions directly at the incident scene.
