UNT built a breathalyzer that detects COVID. A Frisco company just got FDA approval to put it to work.
How does the device work, exactly?
Verbeck explained that the technology mimics the carbon filter in your refrigerator.
“Carbon is very good at capturing organics and getting them out of your water,” Verbeck said. “So, think of it as exactly the same sort of process. We’ve sort of a carbon substrate — and it is a carbon substrate, but it’s got some extra things in it — that turns to the chemistry that you’re interested in looking at. So, when you’re in a disease state like COVID, your respiratory cells die. They go apoptotic. Which is just a fancy word for cell death.”
When those cells die, Verbeck said, small organic compounds are released that are unique to COVID.
“Those organic molecules are the ones that we’re capturing, and re-releasing back into the instruments,” Verbeck said. “So, that’s called pre-concentrating. So, we just take it, we concentrate onto the substrate like a carbon filter and then we evacuate it, heat it up and off comes the volatile organic compounds that we’re interested in identifying. So, it takes a small amount of air to detect these organic compounds.”

Once upon a time...there was a FAIMS device. A device aimed at detecting diseases or anything else Scientists/Lab Rats wanted to chase after. Then along came Christopher Moreau and the rest of the FAIMS story is history.

Postscript
It's companies and innovators like that where Cannabix is in serious trouble. The timeline for Cannabix to complete anything is a very troubling situation for common shareholders to say the least. Beyond that, Christopher Moreau @ Algernon Pharmaceuticals (formerly Breathtec Biomedical) handed Cannabix complete rein over the FAIMS technology to pursue whatever without getting one dime/one share out of Cannabix for it's long-standing monetary collaboration to push the FAIMS technology forward. It says a lot about the character of people running both companies. One ruthless and selfish and the other pure cowardice and uncaring.
Of note: Raj Attariwala remains the last true thread between both companies throughout it all as Board of Director of both companies. Notwithstanding Kulwant Malhi is/was the Puppet Master of all of them.
Have @ it
