Frequently Asked Questions
The HS model is designed to measure cannabinoids in low-dose or complex infused products like gummies, chocolates, baked goods, beverages, and nanoemulsions. It offers significantly higher sensitivity than the standard LightLab 3.
Infused products often contain lower cannabinoid concentrations or ingredients that can make testing more challenging. Higher sensitivity ensures clearer, more reliable potency results for these formats.
The HS system supports more than 20 sample formats, including gummies, chocolates, beverages, syrups, tinctures, baked goods, and nanoemulsions.
The HS analyzer can detect cannabinoids down to very low levels, making it ideal for microdosed or diluted products.
Choosing the right in-house potency testing equipment depends on your products, your process, and the active compounds you need to measure. Orange Photonics’ LightLab analyzers each serve a specific purpose, helping cannabis and mushroom producers bring lab-grade insights directly into their operations.
