Do you need help finding the ideal LIMS for your lab?

Manufacturing-related labs serve as the epicenter of research, development, and quality assurance. They permeate every aspect of our lives, from innovative devices we use at home to ground-breaking medicines to the eco-friendly and energy-efficient solutions that contribute to a better planet. These labs drive technological advancements, further healthcare solutions, and help keep society safe. [Read More]

The goal of a manufacturing department is to get the product out the door on time and within specifications. With large batches of products being produced, some sort of quality management system (QMS) is needed to ensure the best and most compliant product is delivered to consumers. A QMS may start out as a paper-based system and slowly transition to a spreadsheet, but without a fully automated and validated system, manufacturers risk security and compliance issues. [Read More]

Translating research processes into manufacturing therapeutics involves a complex and highly regulated journey from the laboratory to large-scale production. Informatics systems play a crucial role in managing and optimizing this transition. [Read More]

In this 2023 paper published in the Journal of Cannabis Research, Johnson et al. examine the current state of hemp-derived delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ⁹-THC) products on the U.S. market after the passage of the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018. Noting discrepancies and loopholes in the legislation, the authors performed laboratory analyses on 53 hemp-derived Δ⁹-THC products from 48 brands, while also examining aspects such as age verification, labeling consistency, and comparison of reported company values vs. analyzed values. After describing their methodology and results, the authors conclude that "the legal status of hemp-derived Δ⁹-THC products in America essentially permits their open sale while placing very few requirements on the companies selling them." The end result includes finding, for example, products "that have 3.7 times the THC content of edibles in adult-use states," as well as inaccurately labeled products.
