Download PDF brochureQ: WHAT IS PURPL PRO?
A: Purpl PRO is the flagship product offering by Purpl Scientific, representing the first affordable, accurate, portable potency measurement device for the cannabis industry. It consists of a compact "laboratory bench" device, similar in size to a stack of Post-It notes, and a mobile app that allows users to operate the system via their smartphone.
Q: HOW DOES PURPL PRO WORK?
A: Purpl PRO employs near-infrared spectroscopy, a technique that involves illuminating a sample and analyzing the light it reflects. In this specific part of the light spectrum (just beyond the visible red light), molecules react to distinct regions of the light, creating a unique "molecular fingerprint" that correlates with concentration. The device has been calibrated against measurements from multiple state-certified testing laboratories using HPLC.
Q: HOW ACCURATE IS PURPL PRO?
A: Purpl PRO boasts an accuracy of approximately +/- 2% for THC and CBD, simplifying for ease of understanding. Statistically, the accuracy is closer to +/- 1.89% for THC and +/- 0.96% for CBD, as determined by comparing results with lab HPLC measurements.
Q: WHY DO SAMPLES FROM THE SAME PLANT SHOW DIFFERENT RESULTS?
A: Variability in natural products like cannabis is the primary reason. Factors such as time and location contribute to this variation. For example, colas and larf (lower, less developed parts of the plant) exhibit different flower characteristics due to their position on the plant. Even within the same flower, there can be potency differences between the cola and lower canopy. To obtain a more averaged result, we recommend grinding a sample.
Q: HOW DO I GET THE MOST CONSISTENT RESULTS?
A: Following the device's instructions precisely is crucial, as the Purpl PRO is a scientific testing device. Grinding the flower sample is essential for proper sample homogenization. Avoid including seeds, stems, or other non-flower material in the sample, and ensure the sample chamber is properly filled before compression with the cap. Despite these measures, a slight variance of about +/- 2% between readings is expected, reflecting the inherent error in the predictions.
Q: DOES PURPL PRO REQUIRE AN INTERNET CONNECTION?
A: Yes, the Purpl PRO requires either a WiFi or cellular network connection to communicate with cloud servers that compute and store the results. Lack of connection will result in errors displayed in the Purpl PRO app.
Q: CAN PURPL PRO MEASURE EXTRACTS?
A: Yes, our ethanol-based distillates model is currently undergoing beta testing and will be launched soon. An optional software update and disposable sample cups will be released, enabling the Purpl PRO to measure a small amount (~100 uL) of extract.
Q: CAN PURPL PRO MEASURE EDIBLES OR INFUSED PRODUCTS?
A: No, as infused products contain various other ingredients that can interfere with the optical measurements.
Q: CAN PURPL PRO MEASURE CONTAMINANTS (PESTICIDES, MOLDS, ETC.)?
A: No, the technology of the Purpl PRO is limited to measuring concentrations down to approximately 1-2%, while contaminants must be present in significantly lower amounts to ensure safe consumption.
Q: CAN PURPL PRO MEASURE HEAVY METALS?
A: No, similar to measuring contaminants, the technology of the Purpl PRO is not capable of measuring heavy metals due to their concentration levels needing to be significantly lower for safe consumption.
