GemmaCert: Smart Potency & Composition Analysis Solution

GemmaCert puts Smart In-House Potency Testing in the palm of your hand

As a professional you must ensure that your products are compliant, consistent, safe, effective, and predictable.

In-house testing needs to be an important part of your Standard Operating Procedures.

With GemmaCert:

• Test samples in-house before formal and binding testing
• Save time and costs on potency testing
• Improve profit predictability
• Identify optimal harvest time
• Make sure you get what you paid for
• Boost customer confidence and brand loyalty
• GemmaCert App for mobile devices - Android device required
• Produce professional Certificates of Analysis - Example Certificate

GemmaCert analyzes total potency in 5 minutes for:

• Dry flower buds by non-destructive means (no need to grind)
• Trim (ground/biomass) material
• Crude (raw) extract

Results are communicated directly to the friendly smartphone GemmaCert App. Further analysis is possible via the desktop GemmaCert Customer Portal. Compare results with the global community of GemmaCert users.

NOTE : The GemmaCert requires an Android device. to operate properly from the app.

GemmaCert has 3 variations to choose from. Each bundle has its own specifications so you can make sure you choose what you will require.

What Seperates GemmaCert from other potency testers?

• Accuracy - By combining NIR spectroscopy with motion mechanics and machine learning to overcome lack of flower homogeneity
• Content detection as low 0.2% - For growers growing both primary types of flower
• 3 modes of testing: Whole Flower, Extract, Ground material

What Technology Does GemmaCert Use?

GemmaCert® (Patent No. US10458908B2) is CE & ROHS compliant and has been validated by a certified testing laboratory to meet applicable international IEC/EN standards.

The GemmaCert Solution

GemmaCert is a smart solution for testing your flower, which is simple and sleek, for everyday use requiring no specific skillset for operation, and whose form gives little indication to the sophistication of the technology working underneath.

Water Activity Analysis

GemmaCert Essential and Pro models only. Feature not included with Lite

GemmaCert now analyses Water Activity (aw) to help predict if your product is safe and ready for secure storage and transport. The water activity describes the degree to which water is "bound", and its availability to participate in chemical/biochemical reactions and growth of microorganisms.

Water Activity is a widely used metric for food and pharmaceutical safety and is a better index for microbial growth than water content (moisture %)

Lower water activity, under 0.55, means product is too dry. Trichomes can become brittle, delicate, and less potent or destroyed which risks profitability. High water activity, above 0.65, means product is too wet, possibly causing contamination and mold. This can expose customers to unnecessary health risks and risking your brand.

Knowing water activity is critical for predicting growth of bacteria, yeasts, molds, oxidationn, and premature decarboxylation.

• Available on GemmaCert devices via the latest over-the-air software update. Results will appear on the GC smartphone app along with potency
• For accurate water activity analysis of dry flowers, a whole flower must be analysed, not ground material.
• Grinding of flowers leads to water loss and results will not reflect the actual water activity level

Who is GemmaCert meant for?

The industry winners will be those who invest in in-house testing to ensure that products are compliant, consistent, safe, effective, and predictable.In-house testing should be a major component of your Standard Operating Procedures.

In-house testing builds customer confidence, brand loyalty, regulatory compliance, and tackling costly problems before they arise.
