Each sample receives a separate certificate of analysis (COA). Multiple tests performed on the same sample are grouped into the same COA. If you want more than one test done on a sample, it is easier to book them all in one go. if you are booking only one type of test, the individual tests are listed underneath.
Qure was formed by a group of chemistry, science, healing, business, and agricultural professionals brought together by a mutual appreciation and understanding of Cannabis and its potential positive impact in South Africa.
We recognised the importance of analytics and the need to determine not only the amazing qualities potentially in each product for consumption, specifically cannabinoids and terpenes, but also to ensure its safety and purity when it comes to harmful substances, such as microbial contamination, residual solvents in extracts and concentrates, and the presence of pesticides, heavy metals or mycotoxins.
This realisation led us to establish Qure, your Cannabis analytical laboratory.
With an M. Sc Chemistry (University of Stellenbosch) and D. Nat. Med (College of Natural Medicine), Brenda has been working in laboratories since 2002 and has been running the Qure laboratory since its inception in 2019.
Having worked in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, essential oils and natural extracts fields, Brenda knows all about quality control, stability, analytical method development and validation, as well as setting up specifications for new products according to regulatory and legislation requirements.
Charles joined Qure fresh from University where he completed a Master of Science degree in Biochemistry. His time in university included 3 years in a laboratory where he gained hands-on experience working with GC-MS, and developed and validated analytical methods.
Charles’s committed work ethic and creative problem-solving skills, coupled with a methodical and logical way of thinking has quickly made him an invaluable part of the Qure team.
With a B. Com. Hons. in Information Technology, Jean’s background is in information technology, systems, corporate communication, corporate administration and project management. Her love and interest in natural medicine became a passion as she followed the path opened by Cannabis in her life.
Jean manages the administration and finances for Qure.
Ilse’s years of experience in both computer programming and strategic marketing are the ideal combination for Qure. She manages Qure’s brand identity, website and IT, social media, online communications and design.
With extensive knowledge and experience of Cannabis genetics and cultivation, Kris’s primary research interests lie in Cannabis propagation, breeding and genetic mapping, whereby he seeks to make ties between genetic variation and disease treatment.
Kris is an experienced indoor Cannabis grower and a well-known name in the industry. He consults to the agricultural and extractive industries on Cannabis propagation; breeding and genetic mapping; and disease treatment.
Natie has been gardening and growing food his whole life, with a career that has spanned the horticulture, landscaping and agriculture industries since 2000. His interest fields have led him down the paths of biohacking, healthy living, biodynamics, permaculture, and more specifically Cannabis in all its forms.
Recognised as an industry leader, Natie presents advanced and commercial grow courses with Cheeba Cannabis Academy, runs his own nursery providing vegging plants to growers, and has several other Cannabis business interests that all lead people to testing and analytics.
Qure is an approved testing laboratory with the Department of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development.
We adhere to Good Laboratory Practices, as per the principles stipulated by the World Health Organisation.
We care for the environment – therefore our analytical methods of choice are gas chromatography-based where possible, due to the minimal environmental impact of the technique.
All methods used are validated and scrutinised in terms of precision, accuracy, robustness and ruggedness to ensure the utmost reliability.
