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.
