MyDx leverages over 2 generation of technology developed by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) and used by NASA. Acting as an electronic nose, MyDx is engineered to detect molecules in vapor. The sample that is placed in the MyDx device is analyzed by multiple sensors exposing the chemicals that are present. 

For you technical folks out there, the first generation target for MyDx is to be able to quantify chemicals to within 20% of conventional gas chromatography (GC) instrument values.  Our subsequent generation devices and sensors will target a marginal error rate of within 5% of GC values.

MyDx Features

Development Status

To date, the sensors that will be compatible with the MyDx Platform that are currently being developed with our esteemed collaborators can do the following:

• Breath based detection of active pulmonary tuberculosis in the field with high sensitivity and specificity with real patients.
  
• Toxic industrial chemical identification using a handheld detector. 
  
• Readily detect representative organophosphates, the functional group associated with certain pesticides, at parts per million levels.
  
• Readily distinguish simulated samples of cannabis strains.
  
• Quantitatively measure simulated cannabinoids samples, including THC and CBD.
  
• Quantitatively measure certain compounds in cannabis such as the terpenoid Myrcene.
  
• Vaporize and Analyze certain pesticides such as 2,4-D.
  
• Detect carbon monoxide (CO), sulfure dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxide (NO), and ozone (O3) to measure the Air Quality Index.

Now, we need to continue to optimize our sensors for our applications, provide the best user experience possible for our existing software, build our strain database with our collaborators, and transition to full scale production that will help us achieve enough volumes to hit the future target price to the consumer.

With the support of our investors and the crowd we are very confident we can achieve all of the above goals and we anticipate we will start shipping round one of the pre-orders by Christmas of 2014, so we sincerely thank you in advance for your early support of this project.

How Else Can I Help?

There are 4 ways you can help.

1. Share our vision with your friends and family.

Facebook  Twitter    Google+  Instagram

2. Share your vision of what future applications we should target
(given enough time and money, we believe we can detect almost any chemical at a part per million level that can be found in solids, liquids, or gases). Please let us know your ideas at info@cdxlife.com.

3. Join the CDx team in Southern California. We are growing rapidly and looking for talent! Seriously, we need good people to join our team. Please submit your ideas and qualifications to careers@mydx.me.

4. Pre-order MyDx at up to 50% OFF the regular retail price, depending on how early you commit to support the development and commercialization of MyDx.

As we build this company from the ground up, we are looking for extremely talented people who pay attention to detail, trust and verify their work, actively think outside the box and who are looking to sink their teeth into a business they will treat as their own.

We are actively looking to fill the following positions:

Chief Marketing Officer
Executive Administrative Assistant

We are located in San Diego, California.  If you are interested in joining our team, locally or remotely, please send your resume to careers@mydx.me, indicating which position is for you and why.  Please highlight your strengths, and also your weaknesses, because in the end, we have to find a position that works for you so we can all be successful. 

Key MyDx Collaborators

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some important questions we want you to know relating to your contribution & our work:

1. What is the difference between the $199 perk and the $249 perk?

The $199 perk is for a MyDx that will only work for the Cannabis Application at this time and will retail at $399. The $249 perk is for a MyDx analyzer that will be sufficiently sensitive to allow for the use of interchangeable sensors for various applications and will retail at $499.

2.  When will additional sensors become available?

Our hope is to be able to provide at least one other sensor in addition to the Canna sensor at the time of the first shipment but we can't guarantee that at this time.  It depends on how much money we can raise from the investment community and the crowd, so we appreciate your support.

3.  How do I clean the MyDx sample Chamber?

Cleaning is simple.  Just use a wet wipe which contains a little alcohol (which we will provide as part of your initial purchase).

4. When Can I Get MyDx.

We anticipate that we will start shipping the first MyDx analyzers in time for Christmas of 2014! 

5. What Are the Risks in Development? 

Millions of dollars, over a decade of research and 30+ technology patents are being leveraged to bring the vision that is MyDx to You. Our selected technology partners have what we believe to be the most established and robust technology in the space that is ready for prime time.  We have validated that our sensors work in the lab.  Now we need to finalize the design of our handheld reader board so it fits in your pocket, is cost effective for us to manufacture, and can work robustly in the palm of your hands.  This is why we are giving ourselves until the end of the year to deliver a device we can be proud of.  With that said, we have to disclaim that our work still has some risk and hence we cannot guarantee that it will work for all cases 100% of time.  Please also note that all device images used in the campaign are subject to change. Actual device, sensor, and final specifications will be published on our website as soon as each product is finalized and released this year.

6. MyDx Shipping Policy

By choosing any of the perks that include the Canna sensor ("Pre-Order MyDx for Cannabis" or "Pre-Order MyDx Multi-Use"), you represent either (a) that you are legally permitted to use the device and CannaDx sensor as intended in the state where you reside, or (b) that you will agree to accept the next sensor we develop for the MyDx as an alternative perk. The MyDx with the Canna sensor cannot be shipped to states which have not decriminalized or legalized the use and personal possession of cannabis for adults, medically or recreationally.

7. Does MyDx Ship Internationally?

Yes, but regulatory rules in various countries differ. We cannot control, expedite, or change many of the rules and regulations that will govern how quickly MyDx will get to certain countries. However we are working as fast as we can to obtain approvals, but we want to be honest and let you know that this is a large variable we cannot control, especially given some of the markets we are targeting. If you are ordering from outside the United States, please add $25 to your contribution to cover shipping. If you are ordering from Canada please add $15.   

8. What is your Refund Policy?
