Cannabix Technologies and Omega Laboratories Inc. Advance Marijuana Breathalyzer Technology – Dr. Bruce Goldberger to Present at Society of Forensic Toxicologists Conference
24 September 2024 - 10:45PM
Cannabix Technologies Inc. (CSE: BLO) (OTC PINK: BLOZF) (Frankfurt:
8CT) (the “Company” or “Cannabix”) reports that it will be
presenting the Company’s marijuana breathalyzer system at the
Society of Forensic Toxicologists (SOFT) conference in October in
St. Louis. Cannabix Senior Advisor, Dr. Bruce Goldberger (bio
below), will be presenting at a conference workshop session titled,
“Chasing Impairment – Advancement in Technologies or a Paradigm
Shift? – You be the Judge!”. The workshop will explore the latest
advancements in the field of drug and impairment testing including
cutting-edge techniques for detecting recent cannabis use via
breath-based testing protocols.
Furthermore, the Company reports that Omega
Laboratories Inc (“Omega Laboratories” or “Omega”) and Cannabix
have incorporated several new features to the Company’s marijuana
breathalyzer technology to meet market and emerging regulatory
requirements. In particular, Cannabix has upgraded its Breath
Collection Unit – handheld technology to include an “on demand”
periodic quality assurance check, a new startup self check and new
ambient air sample collection procedure. The sample collection
cartridge has been modified to be able to collect a single sample
or dual sample consistent with Federally regulated programs that
require a simultaneous A, B sample collection. These additional
features have been added in collaboration with Omega. Cannabix and
Omega are actively working together to set limits of detection
(LOD) and limits of quantification (LOQ) as well as the cutoff
level for the detection of delta-9 THC (primary psychoactive
ingredient in cannabis) in breath. During spring 2024, Cannabix
entered into a strategic partnership and development agreement with
Omega Laboratories to advance the development and commercialization
of the Cannabix marijuana breathalyzer technology. Omega
Laboratories is an international industry leader in forensic drugs
of abuse testing with multiple international certifications and
accreditations.
Highlights:
- Cannabix engineers have
incorporated several new features to the Company’s marijuana
breathalyzer technology to meet industry and emerging regulatory
requirements.
- Dr. Bruce Goldberger will present
the Company’s marijuana breathalyzer system at the Society of
Forensic Toxicologists conference in October.
- Thus far, Omega scientists have
been able to detect and quantify delta-9 THC in the low picogram
range – a level of detection low enough for detecting drug
compounds in breath.
- Omega scientists have established a
delta-9 THC calibration curve with samples obtained from the
Cannabix Breath Collection Unit (BCU) for the purposes of
quantification using Omega’s preexisting and well-established
extraction and detection processes.
- Omega scientists have consistently
detected and quantified delta-9 THC from breath samples collected
from subjects utilizing the Cannabix BCU.
- Omega scientists have developed a
test method for a breath sample that successfully detects, isolates
and quantifies delta-9 THC, delta-8 THC, CBN and CBD. Cannabix and
Omega have begun working together on multiple fronts including
hardware refinement, marketing and preparing numerous validation
studies.
