Cannabix Technologies and Omega Laboratories Inc. Advance Marijuana Breathalyzer Technology – Dr. Bruce Goldberger to Present at Society of Forensic Toxicologists Conference

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 24, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Cannabix Technologies Inc. (CSE: BLO) (OTC PINK: BLOZF) (Frankfurt: 8CT) (the “Company” or “Cannabix”) reports that it will be presenting the Company’s marijuana breathalyzer system at the Society of Forensic Toxicologists (SOFT) conference in October in St. Louis. Cannabix Senior Advisor, Dr. Bruce Goldberger (bio below), will be presenting at a conference workshop session titled, “Chasing Impairment – Advancement in Technologies or a Paradigm Shift? – You be the Judge!”. The workshop will explore the latest advancements in the field of drug and impairment testing including cutting-edge techniques for detecting recent cannabis use via breath-based testing protocols.

Furthermore, the Company reports that Omega Laboratories Inc (“Omega Laboratories” or “Omega”) and Cannabix have incorporated several new features to the Company’s marijuana breathalyzer technology to meet market and emerging regulatory requirements. In particular, Cannabix has upgraded its Breath Collection Unit – handheld technology to include an “on demand” periodic quality assurance check, a new startup self check and new ambient air sample collection procedure. The sample collection cartridge has been modified to be able to collect a single sample or dual sample consistent with Federally regulated programs that require a simultaneous A, B sample collection. These additional features have been added in collaboration with Omega. Cannabix and Omega are actively working together to set limits of detection (LOD) and limits of quantification (LOQ) as well as the cutoff level for the detection of delta-9 THC (primary psychoactive ingredient in cannabis) in breath. During spring 2024, Cannabix entered into a strategic partnership and development agreement with Omega Laboratories to advance the development and commercialization of the Cannabix marijuana breathalyzer technology. Omega Laboratories is an international industry leader in forensic drugs of abuse testing with multiple international certifications and accreditations.

Highlights:

• Cannabix engineers have incorporated several new features to the Company’s marijuana breathalyzer technology to meet industry and emerging regulatory requirements.
• Dr. Bruce Goldberger will present the Company’s marijuana breathalyzer system at the Society of Forensic Toxicologists conference in October.
• Thus far, Omega scientists have been able to detect and quantify delta-9 THC in the low picogram range – a level of detection low enough for detecting drug compounds in breath.
• Omega scientists have established a delta-9 THC calibration curve with samples obtained from the Cannabix Breath Collection Unit (BCU) for the purposes of quantification using Omega’s preexisting and well-established extraction and detection processes.
• Omega scientists have consistently detected and quantified delta-9 THC from breath samples collected from subjects utilizing the Cannabix BCU.
• Omega scientists have developed a test method for a breath sample that successfully detects, isolates and quantifies delta-9 THC, delta-8 THC, CBN and CBD. Cannabix and Omega have begun working together on multiple fronts including hardware refinement, marketing and preparing numerous validation studies.
