SciPhy Systems, a U.S.-based manufacturer of cannabis processing systems, has become the first official distributor of Valenveras Portable Lab in the United States, bringing easy-to-use, in-house cannabis testing to cultivators, processors and wholesalers across the country.
The agreement brings Valenveras’ portable near-infrared spectroscopy device to the U.S. market, giving operators the ability to rapidly analyze cannabinoids, terpenes, NPK, water activity and other key parameters at their own facilities.
“Cannabis operators have been held back by reliance on delayed, infrequent and expensive lab testing to inform their processes and procedures,” SciPhy Systems CEO Emmett McGregor said. “Today we are changing that by bringing instant data to the fingertips of every operation. Data is the crucial tool that unlocks better yields, better quality, and shorter turnaround times. Valenveras in the hand means more money in the bank.”
Valenveras handheld devices deliver testing data that is comparable in precision to testing methods used by compliance laboratories. Operators can increase the frequency of their testing, avoid costly delays from labs and optimize their processes and grows with instant feedback. Cannabis quality and terpene profile of new lots can be quickly verified to aid purchasing decisions, inform what products to send to processing or direct to retail, and confirm the authenticity of COA records at time of sale.
Cultivators benefit from first-in-class testing capabilities to inform use of fertilizers and soil amendments with real-time testing of leaves for nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and micronutrients. Results are ready in 40 seconds, and there is zero material cost in testing with the Valenveras dry NIR scanning method.
“The U.S. market represents a tremendous opportunity and partnering with SciPhy Systems gives us the ideal foundation to bring Valenveras technology to American cannabis operators,” said Ruben Valenzuela, CEO and co-founder of Valenveras. “Instant, lab-grade NIR analysis at the point of cultivation or processing is no longer a luxury, it is a competitive necessity. We are proud to launch this distributorship and look forward to empowering U.S. operators with the data they need to make better decisions, every single day.”
