The most successful organizations will modernize their labeling workflows by focusing on three key areas: traceability, sustainability, and compliant yet compelling design.
Cannabis stability testing measures shelf life and potency, helping manufacturers ensure consistent quality, compliance, and data-driven formulation optimization.
Multiple scientific studies and lab results have provided compelling evidence that terpenes and volatile metabolites in cannabis rapidly degrade when exposed to light, oxygen, heat, and time, and therefore, reduce the entourage effect that depends on a specific balance of cannabinoids and terpenes. Because of this, what the product label promises is not what the consumer is getting.

In this interview, Pam Chmiel sits down with Lance Anderson, a partner at Dickinson Wright, to discuss how businesses could benefit from working with academia, “technology transfer” agreements and the world of university research and development in cannabis.
Hop Latent Viroid (HLVd) threatens cannabis crops and results in reduced yield, quality and profit. However, the lack of education and research about this pathogen poses a bigger threat to the cannabis community. To safeguard the productivity and quality of cannabis crops we must learn accurate and timely pathogen identification along with proactive disease management practices.
ISO 17025 accreditation can be extremely helpful for your lab, but can be difficult to put in practice. Consider costs, technology, cybersecurity, regulatory compliance and more when you decide on the software right for your lab.
New research suggests that cannabis products are well-situated to become luxury goods. To accomplish this, new approaches to cultivar branding are needed. Recently, a white paper applied state-of-the-art sensory science to develop a novel tool for objective characterization of aroma profiles in cannabis flower to facilitate new branding strategies.
In this comprehensive scientific study, researchers use in vitro methods to evaluate the impact of products containing CBD and CBG on the most dominant vaginal lactobacilli species, L. crispatus, associated with good health. Given the rise of intimate care products marketed with CBD and the reported antimicrobial properties of cannabis, these scientists set out to learn if products like cannabis infused lube have any effect on a vaginal microbiome.
