Laboratory Automation Solutions in Cannabis & Hemp

The QSight 420 LC/MS/MS allows cannabis testing labs to use a single instrument for rapid quantitation of pesticide and mycotoxin residues. The dual APCI and ESI source design gives labs the ability to quantitate the hydrophobic and chlorinated compounds normally analyzed on a GC/MS/MS, as well as all the mycotoxins, making it an ideal analytical technique for the cannabis industry.

Incorporating our patented hot-surface induced desolvation (HSID) geometry and stay-clean source, the QSight LC/MS/MS provides superior sensitivity and selectivity while providing the strength and stamina to analyze hundreds of samples.

SimplicityLab⁴²⁰ is a dedicated Cloud-based laboratory execution system (LES), built to meet the exact standards of a compliant ISO 17025- or GMP accredited laboratory. SimplicityLab⁴²⁰ brings together all the components of the QS-Works solution to create a holistic software architecture environment. From sample weight recording and preparation to analysis and data reporting, information is downloaded in a key sequence driven by the protocol, allowing individual platform elements to perform their tasks in a predefined controlled manner. And when the data is in, it’s uploaded and stored in the cloud for remote access 24/7.

The SimplicityLab⁴²⁰ LES reduces error risk through a step-based method execution process, so you can get it right the first time – and reduce the error from manual data entry. Instrument integration is accomplished via an on-site instrument integration hub that provides a secure pipeline for data transfer between your instruments and the cloud. Working from within the software, you can download sequence or batch data with a single click. And reporting results back to SimplicityLab⁴²⁰ is just as easy, ensuring a quick and efficient error-free transfer data to and from the instrument.

The Janus G3 420 automates the multiple cannabis and hemp sample preparation steps, including extraction, vortexing, centrifuging, diluting, and filtering, currently found in all cannabis labs.

Incorporating our JANUS G3 liquid handling workstation into the QS-Works workflow improves data quality, increases sample throughput, and cross contamination. It’s has been specifically configured with an automated centrifuge that spins down samples and automatically removes and dispenses aliquots of the extracted samples.

To improve overall sample throughput and reduce calibration curve preparation time, we developed the ONE Pesticide⁴²⁰ reagent and consumable kit. This kit includes: preformatted ISO 17034 CRM mixes of 77 pesticide and 5 mycotoxin standards, as well as isotopically labelled internal standards, and QC standards needed to properly prepare a calibration curve, perform quality control runs, and run up to 500 sample injections.

Our comprehensive, easy-to-use kit includes prealiquoted pesticide and mycotoxin calibration reagents specifically designed to be used with Janus G3. It also includes the essential isotopically labelled internal and quality-control standards, improving accuracy of your quantitation by addressing cannabis sample matrix effects.
