Two Purdue University researchers have joined with a northern Indiana biotechnology firm to launch a company to improve marijuana's detection in a person's system.

Intelimmune will focus on developing a more reliable and accurate diagnostic tool for detecting the presence of tetrehydrocannabinol, or THC, the active ingredient in marijuana, the school says in a news release.

Police can use breathalyzers to determine whether a person is above the legal limit for alcohol use, and saliva is used to detect the presence of THC in a person's system, but that test isn't reliable.

Fred Regnier, Purdue's John H. Law Distinguished Professor Analytical Chemistry, will serve as a chief technical officer in the new company, an offshoot of research done at Discovery Park's Bindley Bioscience Center and Purdue's new Center for Analytical Instrumentation Development.

"We look to deliver a proven process that will vastly improve on the present-day test for marijuana," said Jiri Adamec, research assistant professor at Bindley, in a statement.
