ValenVera NIR Testing

⚗️ Science First mentioned: Ep. 231

A portable near-infrared spectroscopy device built on the Neospectra platform that provides rapid, non-destructive testing of cannabis flower, extracts, and plant tissue for cannabinoids, terpenes, moisture, water activity, and macro/micronutrients.

Bubbleman demonstrated the unit live, scanning rosin at 69.9% total cannabinoids. The device costs approximately $12,800 USD with an optional $2,700 annual subscription for updated models. Key applications include pheno hunting, harvest timing optimization, nutrient correction via leaf tissue analysis, and event-based testing services. Created by Reuben, who holds degrees in agricultural engineering, industrial design, and genomics.
