UBC Okanagan researchers have developed a faster test for cannabis quality.
With the coming legalization of cannabis, producers are increasingly looking for quick and accurate means of determining the potency and quality of their products.
Researchers at UBC’s Okanagan campus developed a new method of measuring phytocannabinoids – the primary bioactive molecules in cannabis – that will lead to faster, safer and more accurate information for producers, regulators and consumers.
“There is growing demand on testing labs from licensed cannabis growers across the U.S. and Canada,” says Matthew Noestheden, a PhD chemistry student under Prof. Wesley Zandberg at UBCO.
"Traditional tests can take upwards of 20 minutes to perform, where we can do it in under seven. It will save a great deal of time and money for producers with enormous greenhouses full of thousands of samples requiring testing.
“Most people are familiar with THC as the primary bioactive compound in cannabis. But in reality, there are more than 100 different phytocannabinoid variants, many with their own unique biological effects,” says Noestheden. “The problem is that it’s very difficult to differentiate between them when testing cannabis potency.”

Well now I wonder how much it costs to get a sample done?
