Portable Cannabis Tester Now Measures 11 Cannabinoids
Orange Photonics, a cannabis testing instrumentation provider, has released LightLab 3, its next generation, portable, high-performance liquid chromatography-based analyzer. LightLab is designed for non-technical users in cannabis-specific testing applications.
LightLab 3 can measure 11 cannabinoids, including THC and CBD, in cannabis plants and products down to a detection threshold of 0.05%.
“The enhanced LightLab 3 platform delivers a level of resolution that was previously only obtainable with a high-end bench-top analyzer,” said Dylan Wilks, CTO of Orange Photonics. “The chromatographic resolution combined with sophisticated analytics means not only does LightLab match the accuracy of laboratory-based HPLC instruments, it can also measure just as many cannabinoids. Unlike a laboratory instrument, LightLab uses a simple sample prep and easy user interface which means a non-technical user can produce accurate cannabinoid measurements in a non-lab setting.”
In addition to seven standard cannabinoids and total terpenes, LightLab’s optional, new, Minors Module measures CBN-A, CBC-A, CBC and Δ6a,10a-THC, four rare cannabinoids valued by those pursuing additional product differentiation.
Orange Photonics’ LightLab 3 is reportedly the only portable cannabis tester that can accurately quantify 11+ cannabinoids in 9 sample types. The LightLab Cannabis Analyzer is used by companies around the world in support of on-site R&D, harvest optimization, THC compliance in hemp cultivation, and extraction efficiency in addition to law enforcement and regulatory applications.
“We are changing the way plant-touching businesses do business,” said Stephanie McArdle, president of Orange Photonics. “With LightLab 3’s real-time cannabinoid content data and elevated performance, businesses can rapidly evaluate their product’s composition and market value and make evidence-based decisions.”
LightLab’s intuitive touchscreen interface relays step-by-step instructions allowing users to accurately determine cannabinoid content in a plant or plant-derived product in under eleven minutes. Rugged and portable, LightLab weighs 13.5lbs and has an eight-hour battery life. Its hardened analytical components and accurate performance makes LightLab the go-to tool for on-site compliance testing and cannabinoid measurement.
