Current technologies require anywhere from two hours to two days for a result, according to the project’s principal investigator, research scientist Carolyn Goodridge.
The grant will go to CC Technology Inc., a spinoff company from the university that is headed by Keith Carron and Robert Corcoran, professors in the Department of Chemistry.
An agreement allows CC Technology to market the new instrument while the university, which has filed two patent applications, will get royalties from sales.
In preliminary tests, the chemists were able to quickly confirm the presence of pre-toxic cyanide levels in blood and saliva from cigarette smokers, according to Carron.
