OUR Research

Canabis Testing

We offer extensive cannabis testing services, focusing on:

194x228
CHEMICAL PROFILING

• Comprehensive cannabinoid analysis by HPLC (THC, CBD, CBG, CBN, THCV and more)
• Accurate terpene profiling

194x228
ADVANCED VIRUS DETECTION

• Hop Latent Viroid (HLVd)

194x228
CANNABIS GENOTYPING AND FINGERPRINTING

In collaboration with Optigene UK, the University of Zambia, and the University of Mzuzu, Malawi, we provide:
• Genotyping and Fingerprinting Cannabis Seeds

194x228
THE NOVEL (Δ-SYG) MODEL

Our breakthrough method for predicting THC dominance In Cannabis germplasm i.e Seeds, Cuttings without the need for cultivation
• The Novel (Δ-SYG), Delta Synthase Gene Score Test, a breakthrough method for predicting THC dominance in cannabis at a genetic level. We are also proud to present Landrace Genebank pure genetics from the SAC region and across Africa. Through the use of advanced techniques, we assess the genetic propensity for THC production in Cannabis species in a swift, cost-effective, and universally applicable manner.
