The Company has entered into research agreements with Dr. Rick Yost at the University of Florida to develop a breath detection device based upon high-field ion mobility and mass spectrometry, known as “FAIMS”. The Company is working to identify Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC- the psychoactive component of marijuana that causes intoxication) in ultra low ranges using FAIMS and FAIMS-mass spectrometer systems (FAIMS-MS). The objective of the Company is to develop FAIMS based device that would be used in the field by law enforcement and in the workplace to test for individuals under the influence of marijuana. The Company is actively characterizing its FAIMS device and establishing repeatable results in multiple devices and continuously working to improve resolving power. FAIMS works as an “ion blocking” technology, essentially blocking unwanted ions/analytes and allowing specified ions to pass through for detection. The characterization work has been conducted using a bench version of the FAIMS device. Cannabix scientists have been actively tuning the FAIMS device coupled to real time switchable mass spectrometry to detect key molecules and their complex pathways in the body to enable the identification of recency of use. The Company is at the prototype development stage.
3. Describe and provide details of any new products or services developed or offered. For resource companies, provide details of new drilling, exploration or production programs and acquisitions of any new properties and attach any mineral or oil and gas or other reports required under Ontario securities law.
The Company began development of a handheld breath collection unit (“BCU”) for its marijuana breathalyzer unit. This work was commenced in late November by MistyWest Engineering of Vancouver. The BCU is well under development and expected to be completed quickly. The BCU will interface directly with the Company’s FAIMS (field asymmetric waveform ion mobility spectrometry) based instrument for the detection of THC in human breath.
