LC Acquisition LLC (operating as Axcend LLC) received a $313,721 Project Grant from the National Institute on Drug Abuse under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279) to develop and evaluate a miniature tandem Ion Mobility Spectrometry (IMS/IMS) detector for integration into compact, portable capillary liquid chromatography (LC) systems. The detector is designed to enable trace-level analysis of novel psychoactive substances and harmful adulterant compounds, such as fentanyl and xylazine, in bodily fluids and other samples at required sensitivity levels (1 part per billion) without extensive sample preparation. This Phase I project, awarded June 1, 2026 and concluding May 31, 2027, addresses critical analytical gaps in point-of-care drug screening for substance use disorder treatment centers by providing an alternative to large, expensive, and complex LC-MS/MS (tandem mass spectrometry) instrumentation. The proposed miniaturized IMS/IMS detector incorporates field-induced fragmentation technology to introduce structural information into mobility spectra, enabling positive compound identification while maintaining the operational simplicity, portability, and cost-effectiveness required for treatment facility deployment. The project assembles expert scientific teams specializing in capillary LC and miniaturized IMS technology. Successful completion of this Phase I effort is intended to establish the foundation for commercialization of an advanced analytical instrument addressing both drug addiction and overdose detection applications, as well as supporting diverse other analytical applications aligned with NIDA's research priorities in substance use prevention, diagnosis, and treatment innovation.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
