Ian (Abstrax)

Guest Expert First appears: Ep. 228

Cannabis aromatic chemist from Abstrax, a company specializing in terpene and volatile compound analysis. Ian was a key panelist on the dedicated aromatic volatiles episode (228), bringing deep knowledge of sulfur biochemistry, prenylation reactions, and analytical chemistry methods for volatile compound detection in cannabis.

" Sulfur is a highly sought-after element in biochemistry... there's a transfer of sulfur from an amino acid called cysteine through a prenylation reaction. "

" Our aromatic chemist came out with a single drop on a pin... we had to leave the building for like a 4-hour lunch because it was so strong. "
