This year, the cannabis industry is buzzing with excitement as Tetrasense, a groundbreaking cannabinoid potency testing platform, prepares to showcase its innovative technology at MJBizCon. Developed by a team of scientific and industry experts, Tetrasense promises to deliver rapid, accurate, and accessible testing results—addressing long-standing issues with traditional lab methods.
Meet the Minds Behind Tetrasense
During a recent episode of Some Guys Talking, hosts Brian Holler and Aaron Washington sat down with Tetrasense’s key leaders, Tommy Ramos, Chief Commercial Officer, and Eric Kriegstein, CEO, to discuss the company’s mission and innovative technology.
Tommy Ramos, with over a decade of experience in the cannabis industry, emphasized the importance of transparency and education. “Cannabis is medicine,” he stated passionately. “We want to kill the stigma and provide reliable, lab-quality potency results instantly, helping both cultivators and consumers make informed decisions.”
Eric Kriegstein shared the scientific breakthrough behind Tetrasense, revealing that the platform employs electrochemistry—a novel approach in cannabis testing. “Think of it like a glucometer for cannabinoids,” he explained. The device uses electrical impulses to analyze samples, providing lab-accurate results in seconds. This innovative method addresses the delays, costs, and inconsistencies often associated with traditional lab testing, which can take days and cost hundreds or thousands of dollars.
The Impact and Future of Tetrasense
Both leaders highlighted the platform’s potential to transform cannabis testing across the supply chain—from cultivation and processing to retail. Tommy pointed out that existing testing methods often involve delays and inaccuracies, which can lead to false potency claims and consumer mistrust. Tetrasense’s portable device, smaller than a cell phone and priced affordably at $1,500, aims to democratize access to reliable testing.
Eric added that industry skepticism remains a challenge, but their independent validation study—conducted with ISO-accredited labs—will demonstrate the platform’s accuracy and reliability. “We’re on the cusp of proving that our device is game-changing,” he said, emphasizing the importance of transparency and scientific rigor.
Upcoming Presence at MJBizCon
Tetrasense will be exhibiting at MJBizCon in Las Vegas next week, at booth 2622. Visitors can expect live demonstrations, potency contests, and the chance to see the device in action. The team also plans to unveil new features, including testing for edible products like gummies, which are notoriously difficult to analyze quickly.
“We’re excited to showcase our technology and offer special discounts,” said Tommy. “It’s a fantastic opportunity for cultivators, processors, and consumers alike to see how Tetrasense can empower smarter decisions.”
Looking Ahead
The company’s vision extends beyond cannabinoid potency testing. Their pipeline includes expanding into heavy metals, pesticides, mold detection, and more—aiming to make comprehensive, real-time testing a standard in the industry.
Eric Kriegstein summarized their mission: “Our goal is for Tetrasense to become the industry standard for rapid, reliable cannabis testing, accessible to everyone, everywhere.”
