This is a planning page for a future business idea related to analytical testing mainly spurred by the cannabis industry.
Testing Procedures
cannabis
- - CBD/THC + for year round growth in greenhouses
- - hemp compliance (Aug-sept), in addition we could offer a "testing plan" starting in July thru harvest so that the grower could evaluate and learn more about oil formation...meaning we could charge a customer $X for yearly testing to get "contracts."
- - other cannabis testing not yet on the scene...ex. CBN, or other cannabinoids (~70 in total).
Hops
- - Alpha and beta acid testings for growers in the midwest...not sure who is doing this testing at this time, but it is required by all growers.
- - IBU measurements (+ SRM) in craft beers...a growing market.
Specialty markets like herbs
Water testing
Plastics/biodegradability/formulations
Instrumentation
- a) HPLC - high performance liquid chromatography (~$30K)
- b) IC - Ion chromatography (~$20K)
- c) UV-Vis Spectroscopy (~$8K)
- d) Basic lab equipment
- - stir plates ($500)
- - hot plate ($500)
- - shaker ($500)
- - pipettors ($400)
- e) Chemicals and consumables (~$2000)
=Space and People
- f) Space (cheap in Monmouth), insurance, utilities
- g) people
Collaboration
Highlander Analytical could partner with Monmouth College to provide some research support/collaboration. We could hire student workers with the main PhD scientist (past student) as Chief-Science-Officer or lab manager.
