ElectraTect

ElectraTect is a biotechnology and diagnostics company focused on developing a portable breathalyzer for the detection of recent cannabis consumption. Spun out of UCLA, the company utilizes proprietary electrochemical sensor technology to identify Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in human breath. Unlike traditional urine or blood tests that detect metabolites for days or weeks, ElectraTect's solution aims to provide a real-time assessment of impairment suitable for law enforcement and workplace safety. The company's mission is to provide a fair and accurate tool for distinguishing between past use and active intoxication. The core technology involves the electrochemical oxidation of THC, which generates a measurable signal proportional to the concentration in the sample.
