~ Medicinal cannabis service’s 48-hour turnaround prevents delays ~
To help product developers maintain consistent quality across every batch of medicinal cannabis, testing and regulatory consultancy Broughton has launched its in-process testing service. The service is designed to provide rapid and efficient testing solutions within a 48-hour timeframe to ensure timely and informed decisions are made throughout the cultivation cycle.
Medicinal cannabis producers face increasing pressure to deliver consistent, high-quality products while meeting strict production timelines. This includes variability in cannabinoid content, inefficiencies in testing processes, and delays in receiving actionable data; all adversely impacting workflows, profitability, and market entry.
Organisations must hold a Schedule 1 license for handling and storing cannabis in the UK, meaning it is difficult to ship and is therefore difficult to test accurately. With an in-process testing service integrated into a company’s production cycle, the 48-hour turnaround time on offer ensures that developers can get the results they need without delaying production.
Customers need to submit a pre-prepared sample to Broughton specifications which can be done via standard mail or courier services, allowing for easy and cost-effective shipping.
Upon arrival, the samples are tested immediately, eliminating delays associated with standard sample preparation, and accurate results are ready within 48 hours to allow for timely decision-making in the cultivation process.
The service allows for more regular testing throughout the growth cycle, access to prompt and precise cannabinoid profiles to assist in determining the optimal harvest time, and avoids the expense associated with specialised shipping services, helping to reduce downtime in production.
“With real-time reporting via our Laboratory Information System, LabHQ , customers can gain actionable insights into cannabinoid trends, allowing them to optimise growing conditions and enhance batch consistency,” explains Beccy Bell, Operations Manager at Broughton.
“This allows production to be streamlined while maintaining high-quality standards. In-process testing is more than a quality control measure – it’s a strategic advantage for medicinal cannabis producers.”
With over 15 years of expertise and a Schedule 1 license to complement its speed and data-driven insights, Broughton can help product developers maintain consistency and stay ahead in a competitive industry. Get in touch with Broughton today to help optimise your cannabis production.
