SSI's Partnerships in the Medical Cannabis Industry

Topics

Shimadzu Scientific Instruments (SSI) announced collaborative relationships with two laboratories for development of medical cannabis. The details are as follows:

1) Partnership with Hocking College Cannabis Analytic Lab.

2) Partnership with EVIO Labs Florida

Hocking College is regarded as an academic leader in analytical safety and potency testing to ensure safe medical cannabis. The laboratory will analyze heavy metals, pesticides, mold, fungus, and other potentially toxic substances. The lab will give students the opportunity to learn about most advanced cannabis testing instruments while they achieve their degree requirements. To support this program and enable the purchase of multiple instruments, SSI awarded Hocking College a grant as part of its Shimadzu Partnership for Academics, Research, and Quality of Life (SPARQ) program. SSI's support will push Hocking College to the forefront of public health, academic training and workforce development in the quickly developing industry. Since the cannabis market is expected to grow dramatically and create many new jobs, the high-tech, hands-on training will allow highly skilled graduates to be fully prepared when entering the workforce.

EVIO Labs Florida, a third-party medical marijuana testing laboratory and the first ISO accredited cannabis testing laboratory in the state, provides inclusive cannabis testing for cannabinoid and terpene profiles, microbiological and pesticides contamination, residual solvents, heavy metals, mycotoxins, water activity and moisture content.In this instance, SSI formed a partnership with EVIO Labs Florida to support well-developed testing services for licensed cannabis producers and distributors who must assure their products are safe for patients and compliant with state rules. Since EVIO Labs Florida uses state-of-the-art cannabis testing products supplied from SSI, it can analyze more than 1,400 samples a day. SSI products include integrated high-performance liquid chromatographs (HPLC), triple quadrupole Liquid Chromatograph Mass Spectrometers (LC-MS/MS), Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometers (ICP-MS), Gas Chromatographs (GC), triple quadrupole Gas Chromatograph Mass Spectrometers (GC-MS/MS) and a Fourier-transform infrared Spectrometer (FTIR). With their setup, EVIO Labs Florida is on the cutting edge of testing cannabis, providing meaningful results and giving patients the confidence to know their medicine is safe.
