CDx Life Presents MyDx - The First Handheld Device to Instantly Test Cannabis Samples

My Dx purports to use alternate technology - the electronic nose. The sample is vaporized and sensors are triggered according to the cannabinoids/terpenes present in the sample and a strain profile can be generated. Yes their sensors must be intially calibrated against something else initially ie GC results, but it seems really illogical and fraudulent to go back to a preset database to calculate each subsequent result after the initial calibration. I'm not saying the My Dx actually works (or does what it says) but that's how it was advertised and the core technology is out there so I'd like to see with my own eyes what it actually does. I've been following this project quite carefully and am familiar with other test methods available like TLC (thin layer chromatography), spectrophotometry, immuno-assays and of course HPLC and GC.
Your post just raises more questions for me :) lol

Here's the link on how the CDx life My Dx is supposed to work. Once again I'm not saying it does this or advocating for anyone to buy one at this stage. I'm just interested if it can do what it says and how well it does it that's all.
Thanks for the link.

I'd love the thing to work.

I'm curious how the "electronic nose" would work on things other then cannabis now, like say water or air, other things they claimed the MyDx would be able to test with just a different insert. I've heard regarding pesticides that you must report the pesticides used to the lab in order for them to test for it, which makes sense, but then how would the MYDX device test for the wide range of pesticides used the world over?

Would really love for their rep's to come back and maybe not be a jack ass this time and explain some of this stuff to us.

They can't explain it because they can't do it.

They promised a unicorn. I just feel sorry for the people that were taken by over promising.

Why is it if people have it there is no reviews? No actual results?

Went to breedbay, not looking good. Snodome posted that his friends is reading 17% thc from the air, and called support and they said it is a known problem because app "fixes numbers against a database".

So another confirmation that it is just an app that matches your strain to some other strain and then gives you the number from that strain...

Thats like a .99c app with another 2 bucks for the electronic "nose" which is just a gimmick.

Might as well just type in google "test results for 'strain' and there you have it.

One post from second hand info you trust, but yet discount the guys actually putting up results in the thread...lol, nice.

Can't believe some of you actually think this will work.

Must be nice being gullible.

Eta: probably a defense mechanism to not feel so bad one was taken for a ride

Without some kind of control, those numbers dont mean anything at all...
I have yet to see someone break a bud into several pieces and then test those 3 pieces to see what numbers they get.
Will it be the exact same numbers every time? Will there be a slight difference?
How about compared to an actual lab test? Break a bud in half, test it, send the other half to the lab test it, do the numbers compare?
I fully trust that the numbers they are posting are the numbers that it shows them, my question is where do those numbers come from? Their database?

Well every sample should be slightly different but statistically should be close. If a database is being used properly to collect and compare actual samples from other MyDx, that would require a machine that actually worked. Not just some database with pre existing entries pulled up to make the user feel good about themselves.

Right, which is why I am saying if you test the bud 3 times and you have the EXACT same numbers, you know it is pulled from a database. If the numbers are really far apart, then it isnt doing it's job. But until someone tests one bud multiple times, there is no way to know if the numbers being given are just a bunch of shit or not.

No I feel ya.

But if I test a sweater or even a piece of plant that isn't cannabis it should read 0 as well.

You have to homogenize your bud first. You can't just break a nug in two and test. You must chop it all and give it a good mix first then separate into two and test ;)

Yes but how exactly does it match your strain against a strain in a database. Just by the strain name you enter into the app or does it test for anything at all and use that result to compare against a database ?

Yeah dudes over at Breedbay is getting some promising results ...
Apparently tests for:
THC
CBD
CBN
Moisture content
and numerous terpenes
