Sixth Wave Innovations (SIXW) is partnering with the Alberta Centre for Advanced Micro/Nanotechnology Products (ACAMP).

Sixth Wave and ACAMP will work together to create smart prototypes such as the company’s proposed SmartMask.

To advance the creation of such prototypes, ACAMP will integrate radio frequency technology with Sixth Wave’s virus detection technology.

The company’s Accelerated Molecularly Imprinted Polymer (AMIPs) is a leading-edge detection platform that uses synthetic polymers to quickly detect viruses like COVID-19.

Once integrated with radio frequency identification technology (RFID), AMIPs diagnostic devices can be paired with a smart phone or RFID reader to simplify analysis, record keeping, and reporting.

This is a core feature of the proposed SmartMask, enabling real time collection of testing data from any population during the onset of a viral outbreak.

Dr. Jonathan Gluckman, CEO of Sixth Wave, commented,

“ACAMP provides a unique combination of skills and a breadth of knowledge in RF based technologies and manufacturing capabilities. This combination significantly streamlines our development of advanced product features and has the potential to reduce development and manufacturing costs.”

ACAMP will provide support at every stage of development, including engineering and design, simulation, prototyping, testing, and manufacturing.

“The solutions we develop will provide the first prototype AMIPs with advanced systems integration of multiple components and technologies,” added Dr. Gluckman, “and will be the basis for launching various products resulting in high throughput screening, point-of-care, and self-use tests.”

ACAMP is located in Alberta near the University of Alberta and specializes in helping companies take prototypes from proof-of-concept to full scale manufacturing.

Sixth Wave is a nanotechnology company with patented technologies that focus on extraction and detection of target substances at the molecular level.

Sixth Wave Innovations Inc. (SIXW) remains steady, trading at $0.33 per share.
