The ANSER

ICON Scientific, Inc. is excited to introduce, the ANSER! The ANSER is a field portable, complete turnkey HPLC analyzer for cannabis and hemp potency analysis.  The ANSER is the smallest analytical HPLC system in the world. HPLC (High Pressure Liquid Chromatography) is the gold standard for cannabis and hemp testing. HPLC is the standard that all certified contract testing labs use to test potency. The ANSER answers the call of cannabis and hemp growers, processors, cultivators, distributors, manufacturers, extractors, quality control and compliance testers.  The ANSER is ruggedized and highly precise and accurate. While research quality, the ANSER is simplified for non-chemists and non-chromatographers. Why wait for samples to be run when you can easily carry your analytical HPLC with you and immediately get your ANSER!

ICON Scientific has been an HPLC distributer since 1993. Over 40 years of liquid chromatography experience enables us to be expert in product application, configuration, and customer application. With recent changes in legislation, we saw a unique opportunity to enter the cannabis and hemp space. 

Our vast portfolio of products includes:

Extraction Systems:                                                                                                                                                                                              

  • unique technology – natural extraction solution                                                                                                                                                                                                                  
  • low pressure extraction technology based on TFE (tetrafluoroethane)                                                                                                                                                 
  • TFE’s are very inert, no residue – lower cost – less degradation -yields significantly better extraction and much lower    critical pressures & temperatures

Flash Chromatography:                                                                                                                                                                       

  • has the lowest capex                                                                                                                                                                                              
  • purify kilograms of material                                                                                                                                                                                             
  • handle preparative HPLC columns in addition to flash columns    

Cannabis Purification Systems:                                                                                                                                                

  • Preparative HPLC System, capabilities up to 4 liters/min. are available                                                                                                                                
  • capable of processing up to 20 kilos of material per day                                                                                                                                                                          
  • multiple systems can be set up in tandem                                                                                                                                                                                 
  • economical scale-up                                                               

CPC- Centrifugal Partition Chromatography:                                                                                                                                    

  • for purification                                                                                                                                                                                        
  • stationary and mobile phases are liquid                                                                                                                                                       
  • higher purity than traditional HPLC                                                                                                                                                                       
  • costs more to purchase but very low operating costs

We look forward to the opportunity to discuss your needs and application.
