WeedMaps Media Finalizes Licensing Agreement With SC Laboratories and Launches Cannabis Testing
(firmenpresse) - NEWPORT BEACH, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 09/01/11 -- (OTCQX: CANA) (PINKSHEETS: CANA), a technology-based Internet marketing services company, today announced that WeedMaps Media has finalized a licensing agreement with SC Laboratories for cannabis testing services. SC Laboratories will leverage WeedMaps' extensive marketing portal to offer medicinal cannabis patients relevant information about the quality and strength of their medicine.
"Through this agreement, WeedMaps and SC Laboratories will make testing the new standard in the cannabis industry. Patients can now go to WeedMaps.com to select the best tested medicine specifically for their own medicinal needs, in addition to finding local dispensaries and the best deals," said Doug Francis, President and Chief Strategy Officer of General Cannabis. "Quality matters, especially for patients with acute pain and discomfort, and now it can be quantifiably measured by turning to SC Labs' Test results on WeedMaps.com."
Josh Wurzer, Laboratory Director for SC Laboratories, commented, "WeedMaps and SC Labs will seek to educate and move our industry toward a higher standard of service, where potency testing, standardized dosing, and quality assurance testing for pesticides, fungicides and microbiological contamination become widely accepted and acknowledged industry standards."
Among the first independent analytical institutions to recognize the importance of promoting cannabis safety through education, testing and certification, SC Laboratories provides a comprehensive testing array for pesticide and microbiological contamination, as well as strain potency analysis. SC Laboratories utilizes High Performance Liquid Chromatography with a Diode Array Detector (HPLC-DAD,) for potency testing. HPLC has become the standard for potency testing over the older GC technology. HPLC does not use heat, therefore making it possible to determine the levels of acidic cannabinoids (the major constituents of raw medical cannabis) as they are found in the plant. Accurate cannabinoid profiling allows patients a better gauge for standardizing dosage.
