WHAT WE OFFER

Cannabis Testing

We provide on-site cannabis testing based on the NIR (Near-Infrared) scanner of Neospectra, a portable lab whereby we can offer accurate cannabis potency testing, moisture testing (how good is the cannabis dried), and even the total terpene percentages and the most common individual terpenes.

To participate in testing, contact us to get invited to one of our upcoming test days, where we test your dried flower directly on location. We don't take any samples in our possession!

After the test, you can take the sample directly back with you. Since the scan doesn't affect the quality or potency of the sample, it can still be used for consumption.

Visit our Facebook page for example test results!

Our testing services are available for:

  • Cannabis Harm Reduction Associations
  • Home growers
  • Recreational Cannabis Users
Mobile Cannabis Testing

WHAT WE TEST FOR

Cannabinoids

We test for the main cannabinoids that determine the potency and effects of your cannabis:

  • THC & THCa - The primary psychoactive compounds
  • CBD & CBDa - Non-psychoactive compounds with potential therapeutic benefits
  • CBG - The "mother cannabinoid" from which other cannabinoids are synthesized

Our testing provides accurate measurements of cannabinoid levels, helping you understand the potency and potential effects of your cannabis before consumption.

Cannabis Cannabinoid Measurements
Cannabis Terpenes Entourage Effect

Terpenes

Our equipment identifies the terpene profile of your cannabis, which contributes to its aroma, flavor, and effects:

  • β-Myrcene, Limonene, α-Pinene, β-Pinene - Common primary terpenes
  • β-Caryophyllene, α-Humulene, Terpinolene - Secondary terpenes
  • Linalool, Ocimene, Eudesma-3,7(11) - And many more

Terpenes are aromatic compounds that give cannabis its distinctive smell and taste, but they also play a significant role in the overall effects and potential benefits of different strains.

Water Content

Proper moisture levels are crucial for quality cannabis:

  • Moisture Content - Indicates how well the cannabis has been dried
  • Water Activity - Relates to shelf stability and potential for microbial growth

Testing moisture content helps ensure your cannabis is properly cured, which affects both quality and safety.

VALENVERAS TECHNOLOGY

The Valenveras NIR Scanner

We use the Valenveras portable NIR (Near-Infrared) scanner, a cutting-edge device specifically calibrated for cannabis testing. This technology allows us to analyze:

  • Cannabinoid profiles (THC, THCa, CBD, CBDa, CBG, etc.)
  • Terpene profiles (Myrcene, Limonene, Pinene, Caryophyllene, etc.)
  • Moisture content and water activity
  • Nutrient levels in plant material

LEGAL DISCLAIMER

Compliance with Maltese Law

Strains of Malta operates in full compliance with Maltese cannabis legislation. We have permission from ARUC (Authority for the Responsible Use of Cannabis) to offer mobile testing services in Malta. All testing is conducted with the sample remaining in the owner's possession at all times.

Purpose & Informative Nature

This test service is solely intended to provide indicative information about the composition of cannabis (e.g., THC/CBD content and other parameters). The results are not certified by a recognized laboratory and cannot be used for legal, medical, or commercial purposes.

Personal Responsibility & Local Legislation

Each participant is personally responsible for complying with the applicable laws and regulations regarding the possession, transport, and/or use of cannabis. By participating, you confirm that you hold all necessary rights and/or permits to possess the product you bring and to have it tested. Strains of Malta accepts no liability for any consequences (legal, financial, medical, or otherwise) arising from a participant's failure to comply with local legislation.

No Samples in Our Possession

We don't take any samples in our possession!

You remain the owner of the sample (2–3 grams) at all times. Strains of Malta does not take possession of any sample, nor does it store or transport it; the sample therefore stays in your possession. The measurement method (NIR technology) does not damage or heat the material, leaving it fit for consumption after testing.

Test Procedure

The test is carried out at a prearranged location and time. During the test, the sample is photographed and analyzed with the NIR scanner; after analysis, the owner can immediately take it back. The analysis results are provided to the participant either immediately or shortly thereafter (e.g., via email or WhatsApp).

Reliability & Limitations of Results

While we strive for accurate measurements, our results are indicative. Factors such as moisture content, sample preparation, and calibration can influence the measurement results. Strains of Malta cannot guarantee that the test results are always 100% correct or reproducible.

No Medical or Commercial Advice

The information provided is not intended as medical advice. Consult a qualified healthcare professional for medical questions or the use of cannabis for health purposes. The results cannot be used to guarantee the safety or quality of the product, nor for sales or marketing claims.

Privacy & Data Processing

By participating and (possibly) filling out the digital form, you agree that we will use your provided information solely to conduct the test and communicate the results back to you. Personal data is only stored with your consent and in accordance with our privacy guidelines. We take photos of the sample for publication and data analysis. If photos are published, they will never be identifiable or traceable to our customers.

Limitation of Liability

Strains of Malta and its employees cannot be held liable for direct or indirect damages of any kind that may result from the use of the test results or participation in the test. You participate voluntarily and at your own risk. Any actions you take based on the results are your own responsibility.

Acceptance of Terms

By filling out the (online) form and/or submitting a sample, you fully agree to the contents of this disclaimer. If you have any questions or uncertainties, please contact Strains of Malta via the contact form below.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Why Does Cannabis Testing Matter?

Understanding the complete profile of your cannabis helps you:

  • Predict effects and potency before consumption
  • Ensure proper drying and curing
  • Make informed decisions about different strains
  • Track consistency between harvests

How Accurate Are Your Test Results?

Our Valenveras NIR scanner has been validated against multiple ISO 17025-certified laboratories with accuracy typically within 1-2% of lab results for THC content. While not a replacement for certified lab testing, our results provide reliable guidance for personal use.

Is Cannabis Testing Legal in Malta?

Yes, our testing services operate in full compliance with Maltese cannabis legislation. We have permission from ARUC (Authority for the Responsible Use of Cannabis) to offer mobile testing services in Malta.

What's the Difference Between Your Single and Multi Cannabis Tests?

Both tests provide the same comprehensive analysis (cannabinoids, terpenes, moisture content). The difference is in quantity and price: Single tests are €20 each, while our Multi Cannabis Test package includes 6 tests for €100, making it ideal for comparing multiple strains or testing different parts of the same plant.

How Much Sample Do I Need to Bring for Testing?

We recommend bringing a small sample (2-3 grams) of your cannabis. The testing process itself uses only a tiny amount, and the sample is not damaged during testing. You maintain possession of your sample throughout the entire process, and it remains fit for consumption afterward.
