On December 23, 2024, the President signed H.R. 8663: DETECT Fentanyl and Xylazine Act of 2024 into law.

This legislation mandates the Department of Homeland Security to develop tools capable of:

  • Detecting and identifying drugs with minimal or no sample handling.
  • Precisely identifying drugs by separating complex mixtures with low concentrations.

At the Trace Explosives and Drug Detection conference in Ireland, we presented data showcasing the BeagleX™ 100’s ability to meet the requirements of H.R. 8663. Configured as a dedicated drug detector, the BeagleX™ 100HD demonstrated exceptional performance in addressing these needs.

We are continually optimizing the BeagleX™ 100HD to align with H.R. 8663’s evolving requirements and to set a new industry standard for the accuracy and specificity of fast, affordable, field-portable narcotics detection.
