Orange Photonics LightLab 3 cannabis analyzer was selected by the U.S. Customs Border and Protection Agency to be used as a field-deployable cannabis testing solution.

“Previous to this award, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s Laboratories and Scientific Services conducted a multi-phase assessment of LightLab 3 cannabis analyzer,” said Orange Photonics President Stephanie McArdle. “Unlike general purpose, laboratory-based HPLCs, LightLab is built to analyze cannabinoids which translates into a simplified workflow, affordability and impressive analytical capabilities.”

LightLab 3 cannabis analyzer is a field-deployable, liquid chromatography-based cannabis analyzer that offers rapid analysis of cannabis plants and products with accuracy proven through both proficiency testing and court admissibility. LightLab 3 measures 19 cannabinoids, including delta-9 THC and its derivatives, in over 20 sample formats including live and dried plant, concentrates and infused products. Results include both quantitative and presumptive information and can be shared directly from LightLab as an indelible certificate of analysis via QR codes.

LightLab 3 cannabis analyzer has been subjected to multiple third-party proficiency tests and laboratory comparisons. Publicly available data show excellent correlation and, in some cases, better performance than certified laboratories. This proven performance and simple workflow have earned LightLab 3 the position of being the go-to solution for quality control and compliance testing for both the largest cannabis companies in the world as well as law enforcement/regulatory bodies at the local, state and federal levels.
