As regulations strengthen, farmers, processors, and labs need portable, user friendly potency testing solutions. Cannabis & hemp testing is becoming critically important and an integral part of being able to determine product potency and safety.
High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) is the industry standard or gold standard for cannabinoid potency testing. It is the most accurate and reliable method to measure cannabis components. HPLC is the acceptable standard used by certified contract labs.
ICON Scientific’s ANSER is your solution for cannabis potency and purity testing. The ANSER is the only true HPLC based analyzer. We are committed to supplying growers, processors, dispensaries, laboratories, and product developers with HPLC solutions for accurate and reproducible cannabis and hemp analysis.
The ANSER is a portable, easy-to-use potency and purity analyzer for the cannabis and hemp industry. No chemistry or chromatography knowledge is required to operate this analyzer. The ANSER is always precise, accurate and reproducible. The fully portable ANSER allows you to test the potency of samples in the field or in the lab.
The ANSER is not only portable, but a miniaturized, turn-key HPLC solution. It has all the performance of a benchtop HPLC without the size. The ANSER includes a column, mobile phase, certified standards and methods.
The ANSER analyzer provides an immediate answer.
ICON SCIENTIFIC, Inc. Introduces…
The ANSER™ Cannabis & Hemp Analyzer
The ANSER can be operated anywhere you need to with our battery pack option.
Intuitive software control allows the non-chromatographer to operate and easily evaluate his data.
We supply methods:
- For maximum THC concentrations to enable growers to know exactly when to harvest their plants.
- For purity of CBD. To ensure there is no THC in your CBD product.
- For purity of THC.
- Testing of incoming THC or CBD before final product is produced.
- Testing of finished product for either CBD or THC.
HPLC stands for high performance liquid chromatography. HPLC is used for the identification and/or quantification when determining the potency of cannabinoid components. Potency analysis identifies compounds and measures their “potency”, level of strength. Cannabis is made up of 500 or more chemical components. Those most commonly tested for are:
- THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol)
- THCV (Tetrahydrocannabivarin)
- CBD (Cannabidiol)
- CBDV (Cannabidivarin)
- CBC (Cannabichromene)
- CBN (Cannabinol)
- CBG (Cannabigerol)
- CBGV (Cannabigerivarin).
The ANSER is the ideal potency analyzer for many applications. The ANSER is the perfect solution for growers, manufacturers, laboratories, regulators and discrepancies to monitor cannabis and hemp potency. The ANSER enables the end user to accurately time harvests, determine the proper profile of the strain and accurately label it. When cannabinoid components are used for medical treatment it is crucial to know the exact components, potency and purity to ensure accurate labeling. Consumers are frequently not getting what they think they purchased.
- HPLC Stands for High Performance Liquid Chromatography
- HPLC is used to identify and / or quantify when determining the potency of cannabinoid components.
- Potency analysis identifies compounds and measures their “potency” or level of strength
HPLC can test plants in the field, edibles and liquids. This is because samples can be tested at lower temperatures than with GC. Using GC heat catalyzed reactions occur. Therefore, HPLC is the “gold standard” for potency testing of cannabis. ICON’s field portable ANSER HPLC analyzer is a simple way for cannabis and hemp professionals to test at every level.
- Turn-key HPLC Solution
- FAST- a Cannabinoid a minute
- Same accuracy and reproducibly as a much larger laboratory HPLC
- HPLC is the “gold-standard” for cannabis potency testing
- Non-chromatographer can operate
