WELCOME TO A NEW ERA OF TESTING
Unique DNA testing solutions for the
cannabis industry
Cannabis testing solutions are becoming more diverse by the day. Current testing solutions analyse a vast array of traits and molecules in hemp and other kinds of cannabis derived products. These could include cannabinoids, mycotoxins, terpenes, heavy metals, pesticides and residual solvents for example.
However, what is mostly missed off standard testing offers is DNA. We have comprehensive DNA testing solutions that can help with authenticating the strains that are grown, maintaining and selling uncontaminated products, tracing contaminations through facilities and breeding new strains.

STRAIN GENOTYPING & BREEDING
Innovate your cannabis breeding based on DNA
genotyping & screening
Set yourself apart from the rest of the field through science-based plant innovation: This is made possible by the world’s largest and most comprehensive SNP chip. We partnered up with Medicinal Genomics Corp. (MGC), a pioneer in harnessing cannabis genomics, to introduce a next generation high-density SNP chip for the cannabis and hemp markets. This allows you to take your business to the next level through innovative strain genotyping & breeding.

What can I use it for?
- Cannabis & hemp genotyping
- Breeding cultivars with specific chemical profiles
- Disease resistance screening
- Research for discovering new quantitative traits
- Breed for compliance – our SNP chip can help you breed for strains that meet certain THC regulations, such as the new USDA <0.3% THC regulations
The chip allows you to analyse
- Trait specific markers: 39 cannabinoid genes, plant sex, chemotypes (I-IV), and disease resistance
- Population frequencies, Bt:Bd allele coverage, heterozygosity, and the relatedness to other cultivars (through the Kannapedia database)

STRAIN AUTHENTICATION
Authenticate your cannabis and hemp strains to
maintain the highest quality
There are currently thousands of different cannabis strains globally, each having unique molecular profiles. Using next-generation sequencing technology, we can now compare your strains based on their specific DNA code and therefore inform you whether you are growing or selling your desired strain.

PATHOGEN DETECTION
Identify the microbial community in
your samples
Classical microbiological screening normally looks at a handful of microbes at any one time. However, the cannabis plant notoriously attracts a large amount of pathogens. Non-targeted screening of such populations would allow you to not only identify the entire microbial content, but also potentially assist you in tracking how they change over time. Our microbiome profiling utilises next-generation sequencing – a highly sensitive identification method – and is able to compare against thousands of organisms. The result is a report with all the bacterial species present.

PATHOGEN TRACEABILITY
Identify and track sources of
contamination
Track the sources of a contamination using our whole genome sequencing-based DNA PathoTracker service for pathogen traceability. We are now able to help you trace contaminations throughout your facility. With the DNA PathoTracker service, is possible to distinguish between exact strains of bacteria, which enables you to more accurately identify the sources of a contamination.
