CALGARY, Alberta, March 23, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — FluroTech Ltd. (TSXV: TEST) (OTCQB: FLURF), a technology company focused on becoming the standard in the analytical Cannabis and Hemp testing market, is pleased to announce it has entered into an non-exclusive US distribution agreement with North Carolina based HempLab Inc.
The distribution agreement provides for FluroTech and HempLab to work together to introduce the CompleTestTM to regulatory bodies and law enforcement agencies on the east coast of the United States with the goal of having CompleteTestTM become an approved testing device to accurately determine if a sample of biomass contains more than 0.3% THC, the legal limit to be classified as Hemp under the USDA guidelines.
HempLab’s Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder John Herring, brings over 25 years of experience in law enforcement and a keen understanding of how new technology can help alleviate compliance testing, including the ability to identify the difference between Hemp and Marijuana, which is an issue currently backlogging the cannabis industry. HempLab has selected the CompleTestTM as the technology it wishes to promote as it believes it provides an accurate, easy-to-use, portable testing solution to law enforcement, licensed growers and dispensary owners.
“It’s imperative that law enforcement seek out new technologies that will assist in expediting the process of determining what substance our officers are dealing with,” stated Mr. Herring. “The CompleTestTM device has the ability to efficiently delivers rapid and accurate results. This is absolutely crucial in our efforts to enforce the transportation of illegal products as well as limiting “down time” and delays for those transporting legal products.”
Mr. Herring and his team at HempLab will be actively engaged in introducing the CompleTestTM as the testing solution to be adopted by law enforcement on the east coast of the US.
“The CompleTestTM’s decarboxylated full potency testing makes Hemp compliance testing quick, easy and readily available,” stated Rex Kary, Chief Operating Officer at FluroTech. “Attracting law enforcement to utilize the CompleTestTM has been a strategic initiative for the Company and I’m confident that our product and Mr. Herring’s network will allow us to capitalize on the market opportunity that exists.”
HempLab also serves the agriculture sector focused on growing Hemp for CBD extraction. HempLab will deliver the CompleTestTM device to its customers that not only desire accurate CBD potency results during the growing season but also to ensure their crop is harvested prior to exceeding the legal THC limits
