## Exhibit 5.1

**Exhibit 5.1**

March 15, 2023

908 Devices Inc.

645 Summer Street

Boston, MA 02210

Re: <u>Securities Being Registered under Registration Statement on Form S-8</u>

We have acted as counsel to you in connection with your filing of a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement") pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), on or about the date hereof relating to an aggregate of 1,581,689 shares (the "Shares") of Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share ("Common Stock"), of 908 Devices Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), that may be issued pursuant to the Company's 2020 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the "2020 Plan") and 2020 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "ESPP" and together with the 2020 Plan, the "Plans").

We have reviewed such documents and made such examination of law as we have deemed appropriate to give the opinions set forth below. We have relied, without independent verification, on certificates of public officials and, as to matters of fact material to the opinion set forth below, on certificates of officers of the Company.

The opinion set forth below is limited to the Delaware General Corporation Law.

For purposes of the opinion set forth below, we have assumed that no event occurs that causes the number of authorized shares of Common Stock available for issuance by the Company to be less than the number of then unissued Shares.

Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Shares have been duly authorized and, upon issuance and delivery against payment therefor in accordance with the terms of the Plans, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

This opinion letter and the opinion it contains shall be interpreted in accordance with the Core Opinion Principles as published in 74 *Business Lawyer* 815 (Summer 2019).

We hereby consent to the inclusion of this opinion as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement. In giving our consent, we do not admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder.

(1) Pursuant to Rule 416 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
 (the " <u>Securities Act</u> "), this Registration Statement shall also cover any additional shares of common stock, $0.001
 par value per share (the " <u>Common Stock</u> "), which become issuable under the 908 Devices Inc. 2020 Stock Option and Incentive
 Plan (the " <u>2020 Plan</u> ") and the 908 Devices Inc. 2020 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the " <u>2020 ESPP</u> ")
 by reason of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization or any other similar transaction effected without the receipt of consideration
 which results in an increase in the number of the Registrant's outstanding shares of Common Stock. Pursuant to Rule 416(c) under
 the Securities Act, this Registration Statement shall also cover an indeterminate amount of interests to be offered or sold pursuant to
 the employee benefit plans described herein.

(2) Estimated solely for the purpose of calculating the registration fee
 pursuant to Rules 457(c) and 457(h) of the Securities Act, as amended. The price per share and aggregate offering price
 are calculated on the basis of (i) $7.59, the average of the high and low price of the Common Stock as reported on the Nasdaq Global
 Market on March 13, 2023 (which date is within 5 business days of the filing date hereof) for the shares reserved for future issuance
 under the 2020 Plan and (ii) $6.45, the average of the high and the low price of the Common Stock as reported on the Nasdaq Global
 Market on March 13, 2023 multiplied by 85%, which is the percentage of the price per share applicable to purchases under the 2020
 ESPP, for shares reserved for future issuance under the 2020 ESPP.

(3) Represents an automatic increase to the number of shares available
 for issuance under the 2020 Plan, in accordance with the automatic annual increase provision of the 2020 Plan. Pursuant to the provision
 contained in the 2020 Plan, the number of shares of Common Stock reserved and available for issuance under the 2020 Plan is subject to
 an automatic annual increase on each January 1, beginning in 2022, by an amount equal to the lesser of: (i) four percent (4%)
 of the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on the immediately preceding December 31st, or (ii) such number
 of shares of Common Stock as determined by the Administrator (as defined in the 2020 Plan). Shares available for issuance under the 2020
 Plan were previously registered on Form S-8 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 28, 2020 (Registration
 No. 333-251755) and Form S-8 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 11, 2022 (Registration No. 333-263485).

(4) Represents an automatic increase to the number of shares available for issuance under the 2020 ESPP, in accordance with the automatic annual increase provision of the 2020 ESPP. Pursuant to the provision contained in the 2020 ESPP, the number of shares of Common Stock reserved and available for issuance under the 2020 ESPP is subject to an automatic annual increase on each January 1, beginning in 2022, by an amount equal to the lesser of: (i) 307,295 shares of Common Stock, (ii) one percent (1%) of the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on the immediately preceding December 31st, or (iii) such number of shares of Common Stock as determined by the Administrator (as defined in the 2020 ESPP). Shares available for issuance under the 2020 ESPP were previously registered on Form S-8 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 28, 2020 (Registration No. 333-251755) and Form S-8 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 11, 2022 (Registration No. 333-263485).
