Problem
Existing methods for detecting marijuana consumption often lack the ability to differentiate between recent use and past exposure. This limitation poses challenges for law enforcement, employers, and other stakeholders who need to identify individuals who are currently impaired. Current testing methods also lack the convenience of on-the-spot analysis.
Solution
ElectraTect is developing a marijuana breathalyzer designed to detect recent THC consumption through electrochemical oxidation. The technology aims to provide a rapid, portable, and quantifiable measurement of recent cannabis use, similar to how alcohol breathalyzers function. By focusing on recent use, ElectraTect's device addresses the need for accurate and timely detection in scenarios where current impairment is a concern. The device uses a patented technology that transforms THC, the primary psychoactive component of cannabis, into a detectable signal.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes law enforcement agencies, employers, and public safety organizations seeking a reliable method for detecting recent marijuana use.
