Title:

Disrupting Total Fluorine Analysis: A Compact Platform for Environmental and Pharmaceutical Applications

Agreement Number:

1034449

Agreement Value:

$120,000.00

Agreement Date:

Aug 1, 2025 - Jul 31, 2026

Description:

Fluorine is a key marker in environmental, pharmaceutical, semiconductor and food safety analysis, but current testing methods like CIC, LC-MS/MS, and F-NMR are slow, costly, and limited. Kimia Analytics is advancing a proprietary, high-sensitivity fluorine detection technology that augments existing mass spectrometry capabilities. This project bridges late-stage R&D and commercialization by refining the design, validating performance in real-world settings, and accelerating adoption through pilot testing—positioning Kimia as a global leader in scalable fluorine quantification for PFAS and pharmaceutical applications, while driving economic impact for Canada through innovation, exports, and skilled job creation.
