WSDA contracted Trace Analytics for the purpose of doing cannabinoid profiling for the State’s industrial hemp program to ensure the percentages of certain cannabinoids are below Federal limits

BEVERLY HILLS, CA / ACCESSWIRE / December 18, 2019 / Applied BioSciences Corp. (OTCQB:APPB) (“Applied” or the “Company”), today announced that the Washington State Department of Agriculture (WSDA) has extended its contract for services with Applied’s majority owned subsidiary, Trace Analytics Inc. (“Trace”).

The WSDA contracted Trace beginning in July 2019 for the testing of Industrial Hemp samples and percentage testing for delta 9-tetrahydrocannabidiol (THC) and delta 9-tetrahydocannabinolic acid (THC-A) to ensure the percentages of certain cannabinoids are below Federal limits.

“We are grateful for our relationship with the WSDA and are pleased to continue cannabinoid profiling for the WSDA’s Industrial Hemp program. The testing and reporting of results that we have conducted to date have demonstrated the quality of our analytics and our dedication to ensuring compliance with Federal limits,” stated Jason Zitzer, Chief Operating Officer of Trace Analytics. “We provide expert consulting services to government entities at all levels around the world and are appreciative to WSDA to have been selected as the sole lab to conduct their testing. This contract extension provides another opportunity toward establishing a higher quality for cannabis and hemp testing.”
