ABOUT COMPANY

Our vision and mission

Although cannabis has been known as a medicinal plant for thousands of years, its use has been banned for the last century. In the last few decades, we have seen a trend of re-popularization, largely due to the permitted use of cannabis indica for medical purposes and the use of hemp (CBD) in cosmetic and food products. At Spectralfingerprints, we want to use our extensive experience to help ensure a higher level of quality of hemp products on the market and to enable reliable and cost-effective testing of their content. In doing so, we follow the trends from Canada and the USA, where these issues are addressed systematically and high standards are required for hemp products. We are convinced that product quality assurance should not be a privilege, but should be accessible to everyone, from the smallest producer to consumer.

Our values

As an analytical company, our values are primarily to ensure reliability and quality of our services to our customers. At Spectralfingerprints accuracy and reliability are the most important, so all measurements are performed in accordance with the internally validated methods according to ICH standards. We take any potential error or complaint seriously and investigate all potential circumstances that could lead to an error. We are constantly striving to improve our processes in order to ensure the top quality of our services.
