Arizona Tribune - Lifeloc Completes SpinDetect(TM) Disk Production Tooling, Commissions Cleanroom, and Outlines Staged Commercial Rollout

Lifeloc has completed the production mold for the SpinDetect consumable test disks and produced first-article disks, which have undergone initial testing. Minor mold modifications identified during that testing have been completed, and new production disks are now available for continued validation. To support validation and initial manufacturing, the company has commissioned a cleanroom equipped with an automated reagent-dispensing robot - moving the program from development into validation and early production.

Lifeloc intends to bring SpinDetect to market in deliberate stages. Initial commercialization will target the U.S. forensic testing market and international markets where permitted; access to the U.S. workplace testing market will follow receipt of FDA clearance. The first commercial product will be a qualitative pass/fail test for delta-9-THC, the primary psychoactive component of marijuana, with quantitative delta-9-THC disks and a multi-drug panel expected to follow. Preliminary testing may also support an earlier release into selected lower-complexity, non-forensic applications such as veterinary testing.

The Company currently anticipates commercial launch in late 2026 or early 2027. The SpinDetect reader is expected to be offered at an initial U.S. list price of approximately $7,495, with single-use test disks priced separately.

Reflecting feedback from law enforcement customers - who have emphasized the importance of a meaningful margin above legal thresholds to support defensible results - the initial delta-9-THC product is expected to launch at a detection threshold above the 4 ng/mL oral-fluid cutoff referenced in certain federal guidelines, with the Company intending to pursue lower detection limits following launch. Lifeloc believes the SpinDetect analyzer's ability to isolate psychoactive delta-9-THC from its inactive metabolites - distinguishing recent use from prior use - remains a key differentiator versus existing screening devices.

In its core breath alcohol business, Lifeloc continues to invest in its L-series platform, including development of an OIML-variant of its LX9 device intended to broaden addressable international markets while incorporating cost-of-goods improvements. While the SpinDetect platform is designed to support a range of future assays, the Company's current development focus is drugs of abuse, and Lifeloc views performance-enhancing drug testing as the most natural adjacency for future expansion.

"Completing our disk production tooling and standing up a cleanroom are the steps that turn SpinDetect from a development program into a product," said Dr. Wayne Willkomm, President and CEO of Lifeloc. "We're taking a disciplined, staged approach - prove the technology in forensic and international markets first, then broaden the drug menu and pursue the workplace and federal opportunities. The ability to accurately measure impairing delta-9-THC, discriminated from its metabolites, is why we believe this platform can ultimately help set the standard for roadside and workplace drug testing."
