Cannabix Technologies and Omega
Laboratories Inc. Advance Marijuana Breathalyzer Technology – Dr.
Bruce Goldberger to Present at Society of Forensic Toxicologists
Conference
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada -- September 24, 2024 --
InvestorsHub NewsWire -- 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.
