Development of microchip device for quantitative analysis of key components of cannabis
FY 2018-19 · 2018-09-03
Summary
This project will develop a new detection platform technology for real-time cannabis analysis. It will offer world-wide cannabis users and growers significant data analysis within minutes. This technology will use state-of-the-art solid-state nanotechnology with microfluidics to offer accurate quantitative results. Keystone Labs and the Serpe group at the University of Alberta have the required experience and expertise for the development of KEY-CHIP. The funding will be used to take the project from the prototype stage, production of device, beta testing to manufacturing and commercialization. The first analysis target will be to detect Cannabinoids; Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and Cannabidiol (CBD) in real-time.

Description (French)
Ce projet développera une nouvelle technologie de plate-forme de détection pour l'analyse du cannabis en temps réel. Il offrira aux utilisateurs de cannabis et aux producteurs du monde entier une analyse significative des données en quelques minutes. Cette technologie utilisera une nanotechnologie à l'état solide de pointe avec des microfluidiques pour offrir des résultats quantitatifs précis. Keystone Labs et le groupe Serpe de l'université de l'Alberta possèdent l'expérience et l'expertise requises pour développer KEY-CHIP. Le financement servira à faire passer le projet du stade du prototype, de la production du dispositif, du test bêta à la fabrication et à la commercialisation. La première cible d'analyse consistera à détecter les cannabinoïdes ; tétrahydrocannabinol (THC) et cannabidiol (CBD) en temps réel.
