rottenapple: For a non shareholder you sure spend a considerable amount of time nitpicking through trivia, straining to find a mistake somewhere. You were told more than once that it can discern impurities in the make up of liquids and solids. Who said anything about liquifying the solids in order to do that? I think crow hallucinated that one up in one of his dt episodes, so voila! To you and a few others it becomes unquestioning gospel because it is negative and fits your agenda. Why don't you really invest in a company and expend your considerable free time investigating the merits of your new investment and share that with your new fellow shareholders. At least you will be working on something you actually own....Besides the share price isn't going to be affected by anything but the announcement of pure hard sales/or lack of such. It is already under the scrutiny of the market place and we will financially live or die by the commercial acceptance of our products....

Solids, liquids, and gases
Would you not agree that CDEX patents and patent applications have been reviewed by, and are currently being reviewed by, many that do not confuse so easily? Perhaps this will help ease your confusion.

United States Patent Application 20040155202
Poteet, Wade Martin ; et al. August 12, 2004
--------------------------------------------------
Methods and apparatus for molecular species detection, inspection and classification using ultraviolet fluorescence

Abstract
The invention provides a system and method utilizing fluorescence spectroscopy in the ultraviolet portion of the electromagnetic spectrum to determine species and concentration of gases, solids and liquids from a substantial standoff distance. Target materials under investigation may include explosives, drugs, bio-aerosols, and controlled substances such as narcotics. The basic measuring system comprises optics, a spectrograph, a detector, and an energy source ("head" components), along with a computer and control electronics and power source.

[0019] The invention also provides the ability to detect and analyze substances within target areas at substantial standoff distances whether in liquid, solid, or gaseous form. The invention is amenable to unique system configurations (including critical component placement) as well as creation and maintenance of a database of unique signatures for individual and complex mixtures of substances. The invention can utilize miniature spectrograph instruments coupled to detector arrays with high efficiency power capabilities and novel source optics design. The invention's hardware can implement various incident power stabilization methodologies and improved analyses including sample evaluations based on pulsed timing sequences as well as pulse-synchronization modes for operation in sunlight and room light environments

System and methods for detection and identification of chemical substances


Abstract
The invention provides a system and method utilizing, among other things, fluorescence spectroscopy in the ultraviolet portion of the electromagnetic spectrum to determine chemical species and concentrations. The basic measuring system includes optics, a spectrograph, a detector, and an energy source ("head" components), along with a computer and control electronics and power source capable of generating and detecting unique fluorescence signatures for individual and unique mixtures of chemical substances including, for example, prescribed and/or compounded medications, alcohol products, food types, synthetic drugs, narcotics, perfumes, liquids, and the like.

[0018] The invention provides a system and method for identifying medications and other chemicals (e.g., alcohol products) during each step of the manufacturing and administration process. In particular, the invention enables identification and verification of chemical species by obtaining and evaluating chemical spectral signatures to provide real time validation of solid and liquid chemicals. The invention provides verification that the measured constituents of chemical compositions (e.g., medications) have not been intentionally or otherwise substituted or diluted, thereby substantially reducing the potential for, among other things, undetected errors in medication selection, mislabeling, administration, inadvertent substitution and/or purposeful counterfeiting.
