UF startup Cannabix Technologies, Inc., developer of marijuana breathalyzer devices for law enforcement and the workplace, reports that engineers have developed and deployed new ion optics methods that have resulted in a 6 times increase in analyte signal, which has increased the sensitivity in the company’s FAIMS (field asymmetric waveform ion mobility spectrometry) ∆9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) detection device.

The company has been working on improving ion optics, which is a critical component of the FAIMS system to better focus and maximize ion flow through the FAIMS cell keyhole. Members of the Cannabix advisory team were instrumental in guiding the latest technological enhancements leading to this improvement. Furthermore, the company reports that Cannabix scientists have been testing with a single-stage, direct breath with the FAIMS device that allows for real-time collection and analysis of low volatility compounds without sample preparation.
