and a standalone detector which allows the FAIMS device to operate without the need for a mass spectrometer.
In this setting their talking about the Bio-Medical side of the "Stand-Alone FAIMS" which is already complete for THC Specific FAIMS BETA 2.0, BreathTec and Cannabix Teamed together with Yost for this Hand Held Stand-Alone FAIMS, all of Cannabix PR even tells you their finished with the THC Specfic FAIMS, but in the PITTCON 2017 show its geared to the BioMedical side and are showing the World their Porable FAIMS, they don't care who uses it as the Stand-Alone FAIMS as it will be tweaked for the one and what they wants it for.
THC is done and they started tweaking THC January 2015 and FAIMS can measure it, reduction in BETA 2.0 over BETA 1.0 improved the Sensitivity and ready to be Validated by 3rd Party's and then be Court Certified - Here's one of Cannabix's last PR's telling you it's finished
The Beta 2.0 prototype has provided excellent sensitivity in lab testing and will be utilized to conduct scientific studies with live marijuana users (smokers and edible consumers) to test the device for its accuracy and sensitivity using a controlled scientific testing protocol
Now here's BreathTec latest M&A in December but remember THC Specific FAIMS with Cannabix is already finished and ready for 3rd Party Testing and in BreathTec M&A their building their Hand Held
The development of the miniaturized breath test device is progressing well. Many proprietary components required for hand held breath testing, such as a high –voltage generator, non-radioactive ionization source, and array detector are being integrated with the novel FAIMS cell to provide the most technologically advanced FAIMS-based instrument in the world.
One last Point to be made is in July the Stand-Alone was complete - Desktop but that has all been shrunken in BETA 2.0 but here's July Press Release of BETA 1.0
The Company is pleased to report that it has developed a stand-alone desktop sized “Beta 1.0” device with a proprietary configurable high voltage power supply which operates on conventional power sources. Preliminary lab tests of the FAIMS device coupled with conventional quadrupole mass spectrometry have shown similar levels of detection for THC standards.
