[PRESS RELEASE] – PORTLAND, Ore., June 24, 2026 – SciPhy Systems, a U.S.-based innovator and manufacturer of cannabis processing systems, announced it has become the first official distributor of Valenveras Portable Lab in the United States, bringing easy-to-use, in-house cannabis testing to cultivators, processors and wholesalers across the country.
The agreement brings Valenveras’ compact, portable near-infrared NIR spectroscopy device to the U.S. market, giving operators the ability to rapidly analyze cannabinoids, terpenes, NPK, water activity and other key parameters at their own facilities. This comes at a critical time, when multiple major testing labs have recently shut down, extending test lead times.
SciPhy Systems CEO Emmett McGregor said, “Cannabis operators have been held back by reliance on delayed, infrequent, and expensive lab testing to inform their processes and procedures. Today, we are changing that by bringing instant data to the fingertips of every operation. Data is the crucial tool that unlocks better yields, better quality and shorter turnaround times. Valenveras in the hand means more money in the bank.”
The Valenveras handheld device delivers testing data that is comparable in precision to testing methods used by compliance laboratories. Operators can increase the frequency of their testing, avoid costly delays from labs, and optimize their processes and grows with instant feedback. Cannabis quality and terpene profile of new lots can be quickly verified to aid purchasing decisions, inform what products to send to processing or direct to retail, and confirm the authenticity of COA records at the time of sale.
Cultivators benefit from first-in-class testing capabilities to inform the use of fertilizers and soil amendments with real-time testing of leaves for nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and micronutrients. Results are ready in 40 seconds, and there is zero material cost in testing with the Valenveras dry NIR scanning method. Comparable third-party testing using HPLC or MS methods costs hundreds of dollars, with days or even weeks of waiting for results – unacceptable delays when every day of nutrient deficiency can lead to poorer yields and quality.
Ruben Valenzuela, CEO & co-founder of Valenveras, said, "The U.S. market represents a tremendous opportunity, and partnering with SciPhy Systems gives us the ideal foundation to bring Valenveras technology to American cannabis operators. Instant, lab-grade NIR analysis at the point of cultivation or processing is no longer a luxury; it is a competitive necessity. We are proud to launch this distributorship and look forward to empowering U.S. operators with the data they need to make better decisions, every single day."
With this distributorship, operators can immediately adopt the technology from SciPhy Systems with units available for immediate direct shipping from their U.S.-based warehouse. The distributorship builds on SciPhy Systems' focus on bringing advanced, efficient, easy workflow technology to the industry. The company aims to help operators move from legacy workflows to a data-driven mindset by integrating live analytics with high-performance processing systems without samples leaving their facilities.
