The broader impact/commercial potential of this Partnerships for Innovation - Technology Translation (PFI-TT) project is to develop a reliable chemical field test that can easily and quickly differentiate between hemp and marijuana plants in the field. A miniaturized testing platform results in improved sensitivity and effectiveness. This technology addresses a need to differentiate plants quickly and effectively for use by law enforcement, regulatory bodies, and also by the hemp growing industry. This PFI-TT project will accelerate the commercialization of a viable solution that will compete favorably with an existing technology and incorporate engineering expertise to address the scaling challenges to commercialize the rapid test kit.The proposed project seeks to use a polymer-coated fiberglass substrate and a robust chemical reaction to provide miniaturized reaction results. The major technical challenge in the commercialization of the rapid test kit is the development of a prototype that can be industrially scalable for various market segments. In order to address the technical challenges, the team will validate the prototype kit with industry partners and standardize a versatile platform that is commercially viable and that can address various market segments.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

这种伙伴关系对创新 - 技术翻译（PFI -TT）项目的更广泛的影响/商业潜力是开发可靠的化学现场测试，该测试可以轻松，快速地区分该田间的大麻和大麻植物。微型测试平台可提高灵敏度和有效性。 该技术解决了需要快速有效地区分植物，以供执法，监管机构以及大麻生长行业使用。该PFI-TT项目将加速可行解决方案的商业化，该解决方案将与现有技术竞争，并结合工程专业知识，以应对缩放挑战，以商业化快速测试套件。拟议的项目旨在使用聚合物涂层的纤维胶体底物和强大的化学反应来提供微型化的反应结果。快速测试套件商业化的主要技术挑战是开发原型，该原型在各个市场细分市场上都可以在工业上可扩展。为了应对技术挑战，该团队将与行业合作伙伴验证原型套件，并标准化一个多功能平台，该平台在商业上可行，可以解决各个市场领域。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子和更广泛影响的评估来通过评估来获得支持的。
