Cannalytics ® Cannabis Fingerprint & THC Test Kit!

Unlike most people think, the effect of cannabis products is not only caused by THC. The specific characteristics and effect of a certain kind of cannabis is caused by the combination of several cannabinoids

The Cannalytics Kit is a cannabinoid detection (phytochemistry-) mini-laboratory. Its easy to use and no scientific background is required for proper analysis. Cannalytics  brings you into a new knowledge of the connection between the cannabinoid composition of the pharmaceutical strain and the overall effect of any type of cannabis sample. The kit is based on Thin-Layer Chromatography (TLC) technique.

This technique selectively isolates and visualizes only the cannabinoids out of hundreds of other compounds.  The Cannalytics test kit is already validated at the University of Leiden (department of pharmacognosie).  Research is still going on with focus on speed and the safety aspects.
 
The kit enables the user for the first time in history to do his own research on the qualitative and quantitative aspects of cannabis. The Cannalytics kit determines the cannabis chemo-fingerprint and the amount of the main (neuro-) pharmacologic & psychoactive principles. Find the different cannabinoids THC, THCV and CBN (%-age THC) in your sample, routinely, fast and in full color!  

How does Cannalytics work?

Thin layer chromato-graphy (TLC) is a chromatographic technique that is used in many (phyto) pharmaceutical and analytical research laboratories for the separation and identification by colouring (chroma =Greek for color) of organic compounds in a mixture of hundreds of compounds, like our cannabinoid drop in this figure.

Different effects of cannabinoid combinations

The cannabinoids in table 1 are active ingredients in cannabis. The most potent one is delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Other natural cannabinoids, such as cannabichromene (CBC), cannabidiol (CBD) and cannabigerol (CBG) have potential therapeutic value. The latter compounds can be isolated from both non psychoactive as well as psychoactive cannabis varieties.
