Development of new analytical methodologies and technologies to improve laboratory analytical services within Canada
FY 2021-22 · 2021-11-01
Summary
This project will focus on 3 components:
(1) Development of methodology for the analysis of regulated organic compounds in Cannabis related products using Tandem Mass Spectrometry. Targeting a broad base of products that will be subject to Health Canada safety monitoring, we expect to provide real-time gap analysis for products that are currently in development and yet to be brought to market by industry stakeholders.
(2) Development of prototype robotics for the automated crushing and pulverizing of rock into a powder for laboratory analysis
(3) Development of an algorithm for the long-term planning and short-term scheduling for multisite laboratory operations to improve operational performance

Description (French)
Ce projet comporte trois objectifs principaux : 1) mise au point d'une méthode d'analyse des composés organiques réglementés contenus dans les produits de cannabis au moyen de la spectrométrie de masse en tandem. En ciblant un éventail de produits dont la sûreté sera surveillé par Santé Canada, nous comptons effectuer l'analyse des écarts en temps réel dans le cas de produits en cours d'élaboration qui n'ont toujours pas été introduits sur le marché par les intervenants de l'industrie; 2) mise au point de prototypes de robotique pour le concassage et la pulvérisation automatisés de pierres en vue de leur analyse en laboratoire; 3) mise au point d'un algorithme pour la planification à long terme et l'ordonnancement à court terme des opérations de laboratoire à plusieurs sites afin d'améliorer le rendement opérationnel.
