The mission of Mariposa Technology is to deliver simple, point-and-shoot scientific testing solutions utilizing handheld Raman spectroscopy, beginning with hemp and other varieties of cannabis. Driven by our proprietary database, powered by artificial intelligence and advanced mathematics, PAMAP was designed to predict THC levels in living cannabis plants with the same accuracy as laboratory-level HPLC testing. We envision a world in which in-field crop testing is user friendly, free of solvents and chemicals, with quick and consistent results, all while meeting or exceeding laboratory testing standards. Our patent-pending technology will bring the power of laboratory-level testing into the hands of growers, researchers, regulators and more. PAMAP (Predictive Analytical Modeling Application for Plants), our first commercial offering, will empower the hemp and cannabis industry to optimize their crops, delivering real-time precision data at the click of a button.
For the first time, hemp growers cultivating for CBD can rent Mariposa Technology’s handheld Raman spectrometer device, paired with the company’s PAMAP software and database, for rapid, in-field testing of live hemp plants.
Using Raman spectroscopy to measure potency in wet hemp and cannabis plant material would allow cultivators to analyze plants in the field without having to dry them. In experiments testing this methodology, Raman scans were able to correctly classify 93% of hemp samples as being above or below 0.35% total THC, and in cannabis, analysis of total THC had a relative error rate of 6%, which is below the 10% error rate allowed by many jurisdictions.
