MyDx Analyzer
MyDx Analyzer Questions
They MyDx Analyzer is an electronic nose that utilizes interchangeable sensors to identify the chemical signatures of organic properties in cannabis, food, water and air. The MyDx Analyzer electronically “smells” the sample by drawing the samples vapors across the various channels in each sensor. The MyDx Analyzer connects via Bluetooth or USB cable to Android, iOS or computer devices. The MyDx App communicates with a secure MyDx Cloud via the Internet. The electronic signature obtained from the sensor is then analyzed against a sophisticated database and algorithm in the MyDx Cloud.
The simplicity behind the design of MyDx will allow you to go from sample to answer in 3 easy steps:
1. Connect the MyDx device to your Smartphone via USB or Bluetooth.
2. Place a few milligrams of the sample in the chamber
3. Begin testing.
The MyDx App will present an in-depth analysis of your sample, what the information means, and why it is important.
The CannaDx sensor is available to test for the important chemicals in cannabis. Other sensors are being developed to test pesticides in food with the OrganaDX sensor, water purity with the AquaDx sensor and air quality with the AeroDx sensor.
In most countries across the world, people do not have the ability to know what is in their cannabis. In the United States, testing for the safety and potency of cannabis is limited to a few states that have central testing labs that offer such a service. For those that have access to this service, the cost can be anywhere from $50 – $300 USD per sample, you must hand-deliver the sample to the lab, and the testing process takes a few days to complete. Additionally, the lab requires up to a few grams of cannabis to produce an accurate analysis, which can further add to your cost. MyDx will put the power of a testing lab in the palm of your hands, in real-time, and at a fraction of the cost using only milligrams of your cannabis.
Government agencies currently monitor these parameters. However, MyDx will empower consumers to trust & verify the quality of everything they eat, drink and inhale. MyDx will be useful for both people who reside in urban environments and also in remote regions of the world where food, water, and air quality are not as closely regulated or for those that travel often to those destinations.
The vision includes a plan for CannaDx to be used in states where medical or recreational marijuana is legal. The ultimate goal is for patients to understand exactly what and how much of each component they are putting in their bodies as the cannabis industry begins its journey toward legalization and regulation.
Limited Warranty. CDx, Inc. (“Seller”) warrants to you (“Buyer”) that, for a period of one (1) year from the date of shipment of the MyDx Analyzer and MyDx Sensor (s) (the “Goods”), such goods will be free from material defects in material and workmanship.

The current version of the MyDx Analyzer does not check for mold or fungus.
No cleaning is required. Disposable sample inserts are used for each sample tested.
The MyDx unit will include everything you need to begin testing. Disposable sample inserts will need to be replaced once all of the included ones are used. We expect the MyDx sensors to have a minimum shelf life of 6 months while performing 100 tests or more. Replacement disposable sample inserts and sensors are available for purchase from our web site at www.mydxlife.com.
It is possible that oils or other substances on your hands could impact the sample data. You should always wash your hands before inserting a new sample or wear rubber gloves. You should always test in an area with clean air. Smoky environments may impact the test results. The cannabis flower sample should not be totally dry since a more fresh sample is needed to get a good chemical profile reading.

MyDx Sensor
We expect the MyDx sensor to have a minimum shelf life of 6 months while performing 100 tests or more. Replacement sensors are available for purchase from our web site at www.mydxlife.com.
The current version of the CannaDx is does not test for pesticides. A future version is being designed to test those most commonly found in cannabis.
The CannaDx sensor is currently designed test for the presence of the most important compounds of interest in cannabis flower, including Cannabinoids and Terpenes. Oils, hash, solvents, edibles, acid, shatter, keif and wax testing is not available but is being considered for future versions.
When presented with a sample of flower cannabis, MyDx will deliver a strain analysis revealing the a broader chemical profile of the plant, including the percentages of medically relevant Cannabinoids such as THC, and a class of compounds known as the Terpenoids, which give each strain of cannabis its unique smell and further contribute to the overall medical effect of the plant.
During testing vapors are drawn across the sensors. Over time the residue from the vapors builds up on the sensors surface eventually coating them to where they do not analyze the sample properly.
The MyDx unit is designed to accept multiple sensors. We currently include the CannaDx sensor when shipped but other sensors will be available in the future.
Troubleshooting
The User Manual has a test procedure to identify when the sensor’s accuracy has diminished.
