If you’re a cultivator answer me this: How do you measure the growth of cannabis or hemp plants in real-time and do so without damage? And oh by the way, do that test instantly at the site of the grow. Up until recently, this has not been possible. In this episode we return to MJBizcon and meet Anthony Lai, President of Experchem US. Anthony and I discuss the challengers cannabis and hemp cultivators face and quality trait analysis technologies that can help. Now we did this on the tradeshow floor, so it’s a bit noisy, the conversation rocks!
Measures Cultivation Metrics
Quality Trait Analysis QTA® is Experchem’s Infrared (NIR) Spectroscopy tool. It’s been specifically designed for the cannabis industry. It can do non-destructive scans of cannabis floral materials on the plant, directly in the field or post-harvest. I met Anthony a few months earlier at the SIU Hemp and Cannabis symposium. I was able to demo their new technology. I loved it. During the demo these benefits came to mind:
- Reduce production costs
- Rapid, real-time screening at every stage
- In-coming ingredient verification
- Process control monitoring (both at-line and in-line)
- Finished product potency
- Rugged system engineered for optimal operations in the field and production environments
According to Anthony, the QTA solution combines NIR technology and advanced modeling techniques into a user-friendly system providing results in real-time. QTA enables your team to perform accurate testing with maximum operational flexibility by providing configuration, management, monitoring, and technical development services.
Here is an example real-time report.
