Cannabis Testing Innovation with GeneScape™ Platform expected to be deployed in the First Quarter of 2025
In parallel with the acquisition, Category V Biotech is in deployment stages with two of the largest laboratories testing Medical Marijuana. In collaboration with Genetic Networks, Category V is offering groundbreaking cannabis product testing services: Medical Predictiveness. As part of compliance testing in the Cannabis space, all products entering the market must have a Certificate of Analysis specifying its contents before they hit the market. Category V Biotech, by way of the GeneScape™ platform has designed a product to be deployed on the Certificates of Analysis. GeneScape™ is designed to generate functional signatures from cannabis products, offering insights into potential medical conditions treatable by those products.

As Florida continues to move forward in cannabis reform, we urge all Floridians to vote yes on Amendment 3 this November, which would allow adults 21 years and older to possess, purchase, or use marijuana products for personal consumption. This amendment supports the responsible use of cannabis and strengthens Florida’s position in the growing market for hemp and cannabis-based products.
