Combining Raman and FTIR spectroscopy into one analytical method
27th November 2025
By merging proven methods, the new VipIR chemical analyser delivers dependable results quickly
908 Devices' VipIR is a portable chemical analyser that provides fast, reliable results in hazardous situations where unknown chemicals may be present. It delivers rapid chemical analysis through a new technology called Smart Spectral Processing (SSP), a groundbreaking new algorithm that merges proven analytical methods to provide even greater confidence in results, allowing users to make informed decisions.
How does SSP work?
Developed by 908 Devices, SSP integrates Raman spectroscopy and Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Using the results of just a single sample, one technology can refine or reconfirm the other, allowing the VipIR to provide more accurate and dependable chemical identification.
This powerful new technology is reinforced by the VipIR’s built-in library of over 39,000 chemical spectra. This extensive database combined with SSP brings the full capabilities of a lab out into the field to give fast, actionable results.
An indispensable tool for unknown chemicals
The VipIR is engineered to identify a wide range of threats, including drugs, explosives, and chemicals including TICs (Toxic Industrial Chemicals). This makes it an indispensable tool for hazmat teams, customs, border enforcement, and emergency services who require immediate, accurate intelligence.
