The Cannabix Marijuana Breathalyzer is being developed to give law enforcement and employers a tool to enforce public safety.

Vancouver, British Columbia -- January 23, 2018 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire -- 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 to report development of its "Beta 3.0" (Cannabix Marijuana Breathalyzer) prototype device based on its FAIMS- (field asymmetric waveform ion mobility spectrometry) has been proceeding at a robust pace and is now complete. This device is designed to operate both independently or coupled in tandem directly to a conventional Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer (MS) device used in forensic labs.

The Beta 3.0 prototype incorporates several key technological improvements which include enhancements to the ion source which, for portability, has been reduced in size with sustained stability, providing improvements to transmission and overall device sensitivity. The Beta 3.0 prototype also incorporates its own tunable self-contained detector which can be used in both independent FAIMS operation or in "pass-through" mode for tandem coupling directly with a MS device.

Chief Scientific Officer, Dr. Raj Attariwala, states, "With completion of the modular Beta 3.0 prototype, Cannabix has achieved several key developmental milestones allowing this technology to be directly tested against the accepted laboratory standard of mass spectrometry".

The Company has performed preliminary bench testing with the Beta 3.0 prototype and has successfully detected THC using the device in stand-alone mode with tandem MS analysis demonstrating direct correlation. This is a significant developmental milestone which the Company will use to optimize and characterize the device's performance measures both independently and coupled to MS.

Cannabix has been on the leading edge in innovation with FAIMS technology built upon the current technique of MS for measuring THC. MS is considered the gold standard in toxicology in the analysis of drugs, poisons, and metabolites, due to its superior specificity and sensitivity. It is anticipated that any marijuana breathalyzer product will need to have its results be secondarily confirmed by independent MS. Recent work by Company scientists and engineers to allow the Cannabix Marijuana breathalyzer to easily couple to conventional MS equipment used in toxicology labs everywhere is a significant achievement.

 

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 use days or even weeks earlier. The devices will also be useful for other practical applications such as testing employees in the workplace where intoxication by THC can be hazardous.

We seek Safe Harbor.
