AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH
As the marketplace grows, so does the need for agriculture sustainability
The industry’s predominant lack of access to clean and consistent supplies of raw cannabinoids from reputable, knowledgeable, and legal sources has hampered product manufacturers, driving them to questionable sources of variable quality.
Consistency in the quality of cannabis crops is the first step our community needs to take to ensure the market delivers high quality products to consumers. That’s why we advise our clients on how to partner with the best, ethical farms around the world.
We consult on how to source only the finest materials. And we create roadmaps to compliance for our clients by implementing a fully documented seed-to-sale chain of custody that is verified at every step. We refer to this as Cannabis Transparency Standards™.
Our team also serves as expert guides to:
- Assist you in navigating various breeding techniques, from mendelian genetics to genotype and phenotype mapping.
- Incorporating valuable agricultural biotech tools for propagation, such as tissue culture and genetic assays, that will aid in the production of improved and consistent crops.
- Use gene sequencing, knockouts, chemical mutagenesis, agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation, gene editing, and amplification to allow farmers to control agronomic traits and produce high yield, pest-resistant crops.
By incorporating these innovative breeding techniques and setting unmatched quality and transparency standards, farmers will be equipped to supply manufacturers with the assurance their source is well on its way to meeting the three requirements for quality that every consumer should demand: that their product is Tracked – Tested – Trusted™.
EXTRACTION SCIENCE
YOUR SOLVENT CHOICE
In the market, there are different extraction methods available for extractors, toll processors, and post-processing facilities to choose from when extracting cannabis resins. We can help you navigate the pros/cons of each option to understand what is best for your operational and business goals. We can lend our expertise on the various methods of extraction including ethanol, CO2, hydrocarbons, and more.
THC REMEDIATION
In the US, the genetics chosen for cultivation focus heavily on hybridized varieties, unlike the traditional European industrial hemp that is used for textile manufacturing applications. Hybridized genetics express significantly higher levels of THC as a phenotype which requires remediation once extracted to ensure state and federal compliance prior to sale or interstate transportation.
EXTRACTION EQUIPMENT YOU WILL NEED
New operators often have questions on what ancillary supplies and equipment they should be using.
How you choose your equipment is critical to ensure manufacturing goals can be met.
You’ll need to consider equipment, methods for solvent recovery, options relating to vacuum pumps associated with powering your extraction equipment.
Post-processing equipment for processing laboratories come in a variety of formats, makes, and models depending on the extraction methods you employ. We can advise on equipment needs including vacuum pumps, liquid gas compressors and refrigeration units that will be operated with your extraction equipment as well as method considerations for post-process solvent recovery.
Manufacturing products such as wax/shatter and processing of oils re: refinement, distillation, de-waxing, winterization, and isolation all require a unique set of tools and methodologies you will need to deploy.
A growing area of interest in cannabis is the extraction, processing, and utilization of terpenes, such as the services provided by Lab Effects™, which can be obtained through multiple techniques including fractionation and steam distillation.
FORMULATION & COMPOUNDING
Our interest in natural cannabinoids and terpenes is for their diverse application in creating consumable products for their known therapeutic properties. We guide clients to create standardized products by controlling cannabinoids and terpenes which we refer to as Controlled Spectrum™ and Target Response Formula™.
Controlling the particle size of active ingredients allows formulators to manage bio-availability, absorption rates, bio-efficacy, receptor binding potential based on product application, and method of delivery into the body. We can help you through a number of techniques including nanoemulsions such as micelle and liposomal technologies, as well as spray dry microencapsulation.
Our advisors can additionally offer unique expertise in rarer technologies such as True Nano™ with less than 10-nanometer particle size that creates unique Membrane-Permeable Technology™ (MPT) to assist an Advanced Bio-Uptake™ and passing blood-brain barrier membranes.
We advise on combining multiple technologies like True Nano MPT™ with microemulsions, creating what we refer to as Advanced Bio-Uptake™. This utilizes a larger spectrum of particle sizes in order to expand the therapeutic value area under the curve (AUC) of Nanoparticle Water™ delivery system.
This method shortens the onset time to action and increases the duration of the total therapeutic value after consumption, allowing longer lasting effects and increased time between required doses.
CUSTOM TEAMS FOR YOUR FORMULATION GOALS
In the vast space of product formulation and compounding, we don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach.
With the rapid expansion of cannabis research and increased awareness of opportunity for the development of advanced medical delivery system with cannabis, CBD Global™ advisors have vertically-focused specialists to assist with your company’s product development and formulations goals embracing a multitude of categories for medical, skincare, cosmetic, athletic performance, preventive care, geriatric and pediatric supplementation.
STATE & FEDERAL LEGALITY LANDSCAPE
While we cannot provide legal advice or legal services, CBD Global™ will help you navigate even the trickiest areas of the everchanging state and federal legal landscape.
Our strong commitment to standardization drove us to develop the first ever Cannabis Transparency Standards™ (CTS) and associated Consumer Safety Seal. This seal is found on product labels to assure distributors of legality and consumers of premium formulation quality. CTS shows a deeper level of compliance and transparency than any industry has ever seen before. All CTS products are manufactured through a fully documented and verifiable Seed-to-Sale chain of custody that is Tracked, Tested, and Trusted™.
Our team will share their expertise on the technicalities relating to shipping, both domestic and international and associated import/export paperwork.
POST-SALES PATIENT MONITORING
At CBD Global Research™ , we help you seamlessly connect formulations, technology, data, and people – through a range of products and services. We do this with proven solutions and systems designed by our MedRight™ division to empower manufacturers and formulators to minimize product variation and manage consumer experiences so they are consistent and effective, time after time.
CBD Global™ consultants from our MedRight™ division will help you navigate all things related to the formulation of products designed to target specific outcomes. We will guide you through every step of post-sales patient monitoring processes and protocols to help you investigate and document product experience reports from patients, health care professionals, field representatives, and others.
Post-sales patient monitoring includes:
- Hemoscreen™: tracking cannabinoid levels and absorption rate in blood.
- Analyzing bio-availability based on the delivery method.
- PK Studies: academic and clinical networks for human and animal studies; advising on when to measure and how often to measure cannabinoids and bio-availability in blood.
- Ongoing feedback loop of information for further R&D, formula adjustments, dosing and regimen planning.
- MedRight™ formulation philosophies to guide techniques new product development and protocols for further patient monitoring by physicians, nurses, hospice and palliative health care professionals, and clinical environments.
- Implementing clinical studies vs clinical trials.
- Plant to human genotype mapping for SNP biomarkers and genetic predispositions that can be surveyed against possible Epigenetic environmental forces on gene activation.
- Other areas we can consult in include: Radio Assay Binding and Immunofluorescence.
