Safety & Best Practices
Accurate Sampling
Always use a well-mixed, representative sample. Inconsistent sampling leads to inaccurate readings.
Device Maintenance
Keep the testing chamber clean and follow the manufacturer’s cleaning instructions for reliable results every time.
Dosing Calculations

Pro Tips for Gourmet Edibles
Test Before & After Processing
Test your raw infusion and then test the final product to understand any potency changes during cooking or mixing.
Start Small When Experimenting
Test small test batches first. This saves ingredients and lets you dial in exact potency before scaling up.
Combine with Other Tools
Pair potency testing with precise measuring tools and the multi-cooker for perfectly controlled infusions and cooking.
Label Everything
Always include tested potency, date, and strain information on stored infusions and finished edibles.
Use for Quality Control
Regular testing helps you maintain consistent quality across different harvests or homemade batches.
