GummyPak Starter Pak
Ionization Labs has developed the GummyPak Starter, a compact laboratory setup that allows Cann-ID users the ability to prepare cannabinoids suspended in gummy matrices for potency analysis via HPLC-UV.
This sample preparation setup was utilized to help achieve the Emerald Test Badge for 7-part Potency in Gummy for Ionization Labs ISO 17025:2017 accredited lab.
Ionization Labs has three product options that utilize the GummyPak preparation. This includes the GummyPak Starter Kit, GummyPak Novice, and GummyPak Pro. The GummyPak sample preparation kits achieve higher recovery for target analytes compared to other preparation methods when testing for cannabinoids in gummy matrices. Gummy matrices typically consist of sugars, starches, pectins, and gelatins.
For you to be able to utilize the GummyPak, your facility will need to be equipped with a pipette that can distribute 10mL of solvent, a centrifuge capable of holding 50 mL centrifuge tubes, and a sonicator, vortex, or homogenizer to allow for quicker dissolution of your gummy product. If your facility does not have the supportive equipment, we suggest purchasing this GummyPak Starter to quickly start testing your gummies. Ionization Labs will provide the standard operating procedure for testing gummies and technical support.
