FendX Technologies Inc. announced it will be collaborating with McMaster University to assess an additional surface protection formulation of its licensed spray nanotechnology that has demonstrated the ability to detect bacteria on surfaces using AI and a colorimetric sensor. The Company plans to assess this surface protection spray formulation with the intention of establishing a plan for further development. When this spray nano-coating is applied to surfaces it can identify bacterial contamination through a colorimetric sensor and artificial intelligence which results in a color change in the presence of bacterial contamination on its surface with over 96% reliability, as demonstrated in McMaster's lab.

The formulation is comprised of a nanoparticle chemical mixture similar to what is currently being used to develop the spray nano-coating formulation, as well as use of a colorimetric sensor and AI to detect bacterial contamination. This new application that uses colorimetric sensors and AI to detect bacteria on surfaces is covered under the spray license agreement announced on May 17, 2023 and the collaborative research agreement announced on July 20, 2023, and will not require any additional research funding by FendX.
