Cannabix Technologies Engages MistyWest - Provides Development Update on Marijuana Breathalyzer
16 November 2018 - 12:45AM
The Cannabix Marijuana Breathalyzer is
being developed to give law enforcement and employers a tool to
enforce public safety
Cannabix Technologies Inc. (CSE: BLO) (OTC PINK: BLOZF) (the
“Company or Cannabix”) developer of the Cannabix Marijuana
Breathalyzer for law enforcement and the workplace, is pleased
report that it has engaged a leading B.C. based engineering and
design firm for the development of a handheld breath collection
device for its marijuana breathalyzer unit. MistyWest Engineering
of Vancouver has begun work on a portable handheld device that will
provide for easy collection of breath samples at the point of care.
MistyWest is a highly regarded engineering and design firm that
has worked on several high profile and innovative product
development projects in North America –demonstrating the ability to
complete projects rapidly. Cannabix will use the new handheld unit
for the collection of multiple samples from many users under a
variety of conditions, quickly. The new breath collection unit
(“BCU”) will provide key physiologic breath sample data under
different environmental conditions to determine the effects such
parameters on a ∆9-tetrahydrocannabinol (“THC”) breath sample. The
device will be lightweight and include advanced display
capabilities as well as temperature, pressure and relative humidity
measurement capabilities. The BCU will be designed to collect
numerous samples required for pilot and research testing and be
easy to administer by untrained personnel. Furthermore, the BCU
will allow scientists to store samples and determine the effects of
decay time on the sample which is an important parameter in the
evidentiary process. It is estimated that the new handheld unit
will be ready by the end of this year. This BCU will interface
directly with the innovative FAIMS (field asymmetric waveform ion
mobility spectrometry) based instrument for the detection of THC in
human breath that Cannabix is developing.
Dr. Raj Attariwala stated, “We are pleased to be working with a
local firm MistyWest on the development of this breath collection
unit as it will aid in our ability to collect multiple breath
samples under various conditions to enhance our capacity for sample
collection, storage and handling. The engineers at MistyWest have a
lot of experience with human factor design and creating these kinds
of devices efficiently. This will integrate with our added capacity
for gas analysis using our new state of the art equipment at our
Florida facility.”
The Company also reports that it has recently expanded its lab
space in Gainesville, Florida and acquired an additional Thermo
Scientific GC mass spectrometer that is designed to analyze breath
samples by using the gold standard for gas analysis by
enabling thermal desorption from sorbent tubes. In addition,
Cannabix has added additional electrical engineering staff in
Vancouver.
About Cannabix Technologies Inc.
Cannabix Technologies Inc. is a leader in marijuana breathalyzer
development for law enforcement and the workplace. Cannabix has
established breath testing technologies in the pursuit of bringing
durable, portable hand-held tools to market to enhance detection of
marijuana impaired driving offences on roads at a time when
marijuana is becoming legal in many global jurisdictions. Cannabix
is working to develop drug-testing devices that will detect THC -
the psychoactive component of marijuana that causes intoxication -
using breath samples. In particular, Cannabix is focused on
developing breath testing devices for detection of recent use of
THC, in contrast to urine testing for THC metabolite that requires
an invasive collection and reflects usage, days or even weeks
earlier. The devices will also be useful for other practical
applications such as testing employees in the workplace where
impairment by THC can be hazardous.
We seek Safe Harbor.
