Contract R&D
Genetic Screening
We'll screen your genetics and bring them through to finished tested flower entirely in-house, saving you hundreds of dollars per plant compared to buying new strains or developing the strains in your facility. Using our services, you will save money bringing new strains to market on a regular cycle, in addition to reducing your risks (e.g. males and hermies).
Send us seeds or clones you've acquired, or use seeds purchased through us from one of many connections we have in the industry.
Turn-key solution to your R&D needs
Our unique combination of expert scientists with an experienced regulatory team means we can help you turn your idea into a ready for market package. This includes: formulation work (e.g. topicals, edibles and ingestible cannabis), SOPs for production, coordinating with third party testing labs and manufacturers, and ensuring Health Canada compliant packaging and labels.
Product Innovation
Our team has expertise in plant and molecular biology, as well as formulation and food sciences.
We utilize a scientific approach to product innovation from development through compliance review and packaging design. See our Genetic Screening and Formulation pages for more details.
We will bring it to the finish line
We have licensed formulations for several cannabis brands at market today, as well as non-cannabis skincare products under the Trailhead Botanicals Brand (trailheadbotanicals.ca). We know how to develop and execute products and can do the same for you!
