Challenge
Hound Labs partnered with Triple Ring Technologies to invent a point-of-use breath analyzer to meet the needs of law enforcement agencies across the world and employers in states where recreational marijuana use is legal. Starting from a napkin sketch, Triple Ring, alongside Hound Labs, created a high-sensitivity portable breathalyzer system tailored to law enforcement and employment settings. The project included ground-breaking validation, and peer reviewed publication, of ∆-9 THC pharmacodynamics in exhaled breath.
Outcomes
Fully functioning prototype systems were created featuring an easy-to-use breath capture device, a control station, and low-cost microfluidic lab-on-a-chip cartridges. Clinical-grade data were robustly produced at the point-of-need to provide indications of recent marijuana use and possible impairment.
