Four models, one instrument

One instrument across the whole crop cycle

Most quality tools answer one question at one moment. This one follows the plant, from the first leaf sample to the finished extract: the same instrument, the same account, one continuous record.

Leaf tissue analysis

Fertilize on leaf data, not on symptoms

A plant can run short of a nutrient long before it shows it. Regular leaf analysis catches this hidden hunger early, so you correct the feed while the crop is still standing, before it costs yield.

Every genetic, its own requirements

Replace one recipe for the whole room with decisions per genetic, per room and per growth stage, based on what the plant has actually taken up, not on what went into the tank.

Eight nutrients in one scan

Results come back in the same units used by laboratory leaf analysis.

At harvest

Potency and terpene testing at harvest

Neutral and acid forms are reported separately, so the result reflects the flower as it is, not as it will be after decarboxylation. Terpenes come as a total and as an individual profile: the compounds that define aroma, effect and market value.

Drying and curing

Cure on a number, not on feel

Moisture and water activity are the two numbers that decide when a lot is ready and how long it will keep. Measure them in the drying room as often as the process needs, and release every lot on data.

How it works

From sample to result

Ground material in the powder dish, sample weight on top: a constant optical path, every time.

01

Prepare

Dry and grind flower or leaf. Solid extracts go straight into the dish.

02

Calibrate

Eight seconds on the white reference tile at the start of each session.

03

Scan

Results appear in the app in seconds.

04

Act

Adjust the feed, time the harvest or release a lot, with data behind every decision.

No solvents·No consumables·No sample sent anywhere

Data and platform

Every room, every site, one record

Every measurement syncs to the cloud portal. Trend charts, average, standard deviation and CV per parameter, material and lot make drift visible before it becomes a rejection.

ACROSS INSTRUMENTS

Three separate units, the same samples, one reference lab.

Total THC slopes against SC Labs fell between 1.06 and 1.17, so an operation running several instruments across several sites gets comparable numbers without recalibrating each one.

Results are predictions from validated NIR models and apply within each model’s calibration range, with the specified sample preparation.

Dry flower, fresh flower, fresh leaves and solid extracts or hash. Fresh material is dried before scanning, and everything is measured in the powder dish with its weight, following the sample preparation SOP.

From week six, take the newest fully formed leaves from the third internode, with the petiole, from at least five plants per genetic. Dry, grind finely and scan like flower.

In six studies against five ISO 17025-certified laboratories, 21 of 25 THC comparisons fell within one percentage point of the lab result.

Yes. Three separate units tested on the same samples returned comparable results, without recalibrating each unit.

Only for the first sign-in. Models are then cached on the instrument, a full session runs offline, and up to 999 spectra are stored and synchronized later.

It is designed for one-handed operation and requires minimal training. The app guides every step, from calibration to result.

No. It handles routine, in-house monitoring. Accredited laboratories remain the reference for confirmation and regulatory testing.
