Omega Laboratories to Host Educational Panels and Present Cannabix Marijuana Breath Test Solution at the 2026 NDASA Conference in California

ancouver, British Columbia, April 20, 2026 -- Cannabix Technologies Inc. (CSE: BLO) (OTCID: BLOZF) (Frankfurt: 8CT) (the “Company” or “Cannabix”) a developer of marijuana and alcohol breath‑testing technologies, is pleased to announce that its strategic partner Omega Laboratories, Inc. (“Omega”) will be attending and presenting at the 2026 National Drug and Alcohol Screening Association (NDASA) Conference and Trade Show, taking place April 26–29, 2026, in Orange County, California.

NDASA is one of the world’s largest professional organizations dedicated to workplace drug and alcohol testing, serving employers, laboratories, medical review officers, policy makers, and safety‑sensitive industries across North America and internationally.

Omega to Host Two Educational Panels at NDASA 2026

Omega Laboratories has confirmed it will host two educational panel sessions during the conference, where Jerry Crosby, President of Omega Laboratories, will highlight THC breath testing and its impact on employee screening programs, with a focus on emerging best practices for safety‑sensitive workplaces.

The panels will also showcase the Cannabix Marijuana Breath Test (MBT) and demonstrate how the technology addresses long‑standing limitations of traditional cannabis testing methods for organizations served by NDASA.

Addressing a Critical Gap in Cannabis Testing

The Marijuana Breath Test (MBT) fills a critical gap in cannabis detection by delivering a non‑invasive solution that detects recent marijuana use, specifically delta‑9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)—the primary psychoactive compound in cannabis—directly from breath.

Key MBT attributes include:

• Detection of delta‑9 THC in breath within 4 hours of consumption
• Sensitivity at concentrations above 5 picograms per liter (pg/L)
• Designed for recent‑use assessment, rather than historical exposure
• Non‑invasive, collect‑and‑send testing suitable for workplace and safety‑sensitive environments

This approach contrasts sharply with urine, blood, and oral‑fluid tests, which often detect past cannabis use days or weeks after consumption, limiting their relevance for deterrence and time critical decision making.

Growing Importance of Breath‑Based Cannabis Detection

As legal recreational and medical cannabis use continues to expand across the United States and globally, employers, manufacturing, transportation and industrial sectors face increasing pressure to adopt testing methods that are fair, relevant, and impairment time window‑focused.

Breath‑based detection of delta‑9 THC provides organizations with a scientifically validated method to evaluate recent use, helping support:

• Workplace safety and compliance
• Fair and defensible employee screening decisions
• Modernized drug testing programs aligned with evolving cannabis laws

Omega’s NDASA educational panels will discuss how the MBT integrates into existing testing frameworks and how it supports employers navigating the complexities of cannabis legalization.

Omega Laboratories, a leading U.S. and Canadian drug testing laboratory, has completed method development and validation work on the Cannabix Marijuana Breath Test and continues to integrate the technology into its laboratory services. Participation at NDASA 2026 represents another step toward industry education, awareness, and adoption of breath‑based cannabis testing.

Rav Mlait, CEO of Cannabix Technologies, stated, “NDASA is a key forum for advancing next‑generation drug testing standards. Omega’s leadership in presenting on THC breath testing underscores the growing need for practical solutions that measure recent use. As cannabis legalization expands, breath testing offers employers and safety‑sensitive industries a more relevant and defensible tool for informed decision making.”
