Indianapolis, IN--3CHI, a pioneer in the hemp and cannabis sector, unveiled D-SPEC ("Delta Specific"), an innovative high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) testing approach. This development aims to bring unparalleled precision and reliability to the analysis of hemp-derived products. Remarkably, 3CHI is making D-SPEC available for free to cannabis and crime labs to foster industry standardization.
According to a release, D-SPEC has been developed to surpass traditional HPLC techniques and eliminate the need for derivatives and potential cannabinoid rearrangements in Gas Chromatography testing. This advancement redefines quality, safety, and legal adherence parameters in the burgeoning hemp market.
The core objectives of D-SPEC include:
– Unrivaled accuracy for assessing hemp product contents: D-SPEC transcends prior HPLC methods to deliver a detailed, accurate analysis of the chemical composition of hemp products, bolstering the safety and quality standards for manufacturers, retailers, and consumers.
– 'Fingerprint' chromatogram for fake product detection: D-SPEC's unique 'fingerprint' chromatogram enables manufacturers to verify product authenticity by comparing it with batch testing results, thereby protecting their brands from counterfeit products.
– Precise estimation of Delta9-THC quantities and legality: D-SPEC's exemplary precision extends to measuring Delta9-THC concentrations in hemp products, ensuring compliance with federal and state laws and promoting consumer safety.
– Precision formulations for consistent cannabis products: D-SPEC facilitates precision formulations that significantly improve the consistency of cannabis products, leading to a consistent consumer experience across different batches and product lines.
"D-SPEC has elevated our own product offerings, and will now raise the bar industry-wide for product and consumer safety, reliability, and credibility," said Justin Journay, CEO of 3CHI, as per the release. "D-SPEC adoption will remove most of the industry's bad actors and we hope the example of giving the method away for free launches a more collaborative and credible hemp testing industry going forward."
