Consulting

Learn from our experience.

Bringing a new product to market often involves a little R(esearch), a lot of D(evelopment) and considerable capital. That often deters organizations from innovating. We are here to help from inside the United States.

Local, intelligent and focused scientists can be more efficient and effective overall in ushering a new product idea into the world than inexpensive, outsourced labour. Our combination of business and scientific acumen allows us to design specialized research protocols focused on achieving results.

Our flexible service arrangements allow for collaborative projects and shared rewards. That lets us assist start-ups, young companies and dedicated entrepreneurs to create the world they want to realise. For us, it is all about the right project, with the right people, at the right price.

Our range of experience includes analytical chemistry, synthetic chemistry, process chemistry, phytochemistry, metabolomics, regulatory science, and intellectual property portfolio development and management. Extensive product development, technology transfer and application research experience provide the foundation for our solutions.

Our background in regulated industries, including medical and adult-use cannabis legislation, botanical and pharmaceutical labeling standards and good manufacturing practices, helps us offer a holistic approach. Our insight about current, imminent and projected regulation can help you avoid common pitfalls.

What we help with

From first conversation through to routine production.

Terpene profiling

We analyze the composition of a cultivar using a proprietary method covering more than 100 volatile constituents, so the profile you are working from is measured rather than guessed.

Terpene and flavor formulation

We create non-cannabis terpene flavor products to match a target sensory direction, then check how the profile behaves inside the actual product format. Our formulations are sold as cannabis-derived terpene blends and botanical blends under Entour™.

Standardization

Repeatability is the hard part. We define the specification, document the method and set the checks that keep a profile consistent from the first bench sample to routine production.

New product development

Bringing a new product to market involves a little research, a lot of development and considerable capital. Our combination of business and scientific acumen lets us design specialized research protocols focused on achieving results.

Facility development

Consulting, market research and expertise to help you build and optimize a facility for efficiency and for the market you are actually selling into.

Private labeling

Specification, packaging and repeat production support for operators building their own brand on a scientific backend they did not have to build themselves.

Scale-up and go to market

Transferring an approved formula into pilot and then routine production, with the documentation and technology transfer that makes the handover survivable.
