Testing and reporting
Why is terpenoid analysis important?
Terpenoid analysis is beneficial for everyone in the supply-chain: cultivators, breeders, manufacturers, distributors, retailers, consumers, and patients. Take a tour of our PhytoFacts® reporting solution to learn how easy it is to make data-driven decisions about cannabis and hemp flowers or concentrates.
Consumers
Understanding terpenes is essential to help identify the right strain for their desired effect.
Retailers
Terpene analysis bolsters the understanding of a strain’s potential when recommending varieties that best suit the consumer needs.
Breeders
Terpene data aids in the ability to selectively modulate the terpene ratios of strains in order to maximize desired benefits.
All flower and concentrate samples tested for both potency and terpenes will receive a PhytoFacts Chemometric Report, which includes valuable data on a sample’s predicted flavor(s), aroma(s), and effect(s).
