My last three emails have not had any responses or correspondance:

Greetings Dr. Wilkomm.

I am following up on an email that I sent a couple weeks back. It explained the current opportunity that exists in the breathalyzer space for detecting Covid-19. Can you let me know if anyone from the team at Lifeloc has looked into grants or various other funding opportunities? I am more than willing to lend a hand and provide my insight and research skills. I own two online businesses and I have a strong work ethic that I am confident can be utilized.

This was an interesting article that I came across and could provide Lifeloc with an opportunity to collaborate:

And here's another possible opportunity to provide breathalyzer testing without having to have any human contact. It reminded me of the RADAR device:

As always, thanks for your time.


Dear Dr. Wilkomm and management at Lifeloc Technologies,

I became aware of LifeLoc’s reputation, vision, and potential for industry changing innovation back in 2014 when I first became involved as a long term investor. You are a leader in breathalyzer technology and I am confident that you will continue to be so for the foreseeable future. The reason for this email is to extend a plea to you to move forward with creating a breathalyzer for detecting Covid-19.


Because you are already an established and respected company in the breathalyzer industry, it seems logical that you make the attempt to shift gears and devote some of LifeLoc’s efforts and expertise towards the development of a Covid-19 breathalyzer. During World War II, companies temporarily shifted focus for the greater good, such as Kellogg’s developing and producing K-rations for soldiers. Our country is entangled in a war right now and we are losing on many fronts. One such losing front is with testing. The rapid worldwide spread and impact of COVID-19 has created a need for accurate, reliable, and readily accessible testing on a massive scale. Returning safely to normal life depends on our ability to streamline and speed up the testing process. As you know, testing supply cannot keep up with demand. Further, those who are tested are waiting days, if not weeks to get results. This delay unquestionably results in greater spread of this deadly and destructive virus.


Companies around the globe have been trying to create vaccines and treatments for Covid-19 and there is a possibility that neither will be developed in a way that will meaningfully change the devastating course that we are currently on. A breathalyzer certainly would change the course and I am more than confident that its development is worth investigating. Partnering with these organizations that have already announced development of a Covid-19 breath test is also a viable option for Lifeloc to get involved.

This page alone has over 40 various Covid-19 testing grant opportunities from the NIH, DOD and private foundations.

The NSF (awardsearch@nsf.gov) also has grants available as seen here:

And here is some information on the newly announced RADX (Rapid Acceleration of Diagnostics) initiative.

RADx efforts seek to create capacity for 6 million daily tests by the end of 2020, address underserved populations.

As a former research analyst and writer of economic reports, I would like to offer my assistance in any way possible. I can research grants or contact other organizations that are looking for manufacturing, logistics, distribution networks, etc. Just let me know how I can be of assistance and I will get to work.


In summary, I believe that it is of the utmost importance for Lifeloc to begin work on a breath testing device for Covid-19. I honestly believe funding will easily become available and the knowledge and testing needed will be easier than that of the marijuana breathalyzer. Now is the time to take advantage of this opportunity. The world needs help from all directions and Lifeloc has the chance to provide a game changing device that can help us look towards a brighter and safer future.


Thanks for your time
