Vancouver, Canada-based medical cannabis science firm Veritas Pharma Inc. (CSE: VRT; OTC: VRTHF; and Frankfurt: 2VP) will offer needed cannabis testing services to cannabis and hemp licensed producers as a means of producing revenue.
Veritas’ subsidiary, Cannevert Therapeutics Ltd. (CTL) will offer analytical and biological testing services at its Vancouver location and at its new facility in Burnaby, BC, that will be opening in the new year.
Dr. Lui Franciosi commented, “There has been a growing demand from LPs in Canada and abroad to better understand the pharmacology and therapeutic potential of their strains and related products. Therefore, alongside Cannevert’s focus on developing its own propriety medical cannabis products for pain and seniors’ care, it will assist producers to obtain analytical and biological profiles of their own products for revenue with the potential of entering into a co-development agreement.”
“Cannevert will then help them develop propriety products combined with monograph to inform clinicians and patients on their therapeutic use.”
To address the demand, Veritas has entered into a lease agreement for an 18,000+ sf facility in Burnaby, BC. The operations are contingent on Cannevert obtaining the appropriate Health Canada licenses, for which the applications are in progress.
