## About FREDsense Technologies

FREDsense Technologies is a biotechnology company based in Calgary, Alberta, specializing in fast, affordable, and portable water testing solutions.

Founded in 2014, the company focuses on the rapid detection of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), commonly known as "forever chemicals." FREDsense utilizes a proprietary bacteria-based biosensor platform that delivers results in hours or minutes, significantly reducing the time compared to traditional laboratory methods. The company offers two main testing options: the FRED-PFASTM field kit, which allows for on-site PFAS concentration analysis, and a rapid lab service that provides PFAS results in five days. FREDsense also customizes biosensors to detect various contaminants, ensuring high-quality data for environmental consultants, utilities, and industries. Their mission is to enhance water quality analysis, enabling immediate decision-making for contamination and regulatory compliance across various sectors, including environmental services, water treatment, energy, and mining.
