As more and more cannabis products require cannabis oil as a fundamental ingredient, BAS Research oils can now be found in wide range of cannabis medicine in the marketplace, from vape cartridges to tinctures and topical creams. Through its unique production process, BAS is able to customize oil blends and other extracts to the specific needs of its

customers. For instance, an edibles company may require an odorless, tasteless oil to blend into its products, while a vape cartridge supplier might want quite the opposite – a custom, flavorful blend of natural cannabis phytomaterials that incorporates flavors from multiple strains.

Extraction science plays a fundamental role in harvesting components of the cannabis oils from the plants. Solubilities of the various molecules in another material, such as supercritical carbon dioxide (CO2), determine the composition of the different extracts the company produces. To arrive at the best extraction methods for different strains, BAS technicians map the characteristics of each extract as the temperature and pressure are carefully manipulated for set periods of time.

Some of the company’s more popular products include a Winterized Amber Oil, which is a cannabinoid-rich CO2 extract that is refined into a translucent amber colored oil of medium viscosity and high potency through a careful removal of fats, lipids, and waxes. Primarily used for vape technologies, it can be produced in strain-specific, terpene-enriched variations and is also available as THC or CBD-dominant. The Distilled Clear Oil is a transparent and lightly golden concentrate that is decarboxylated and can be used directly as a plain distillate or be reintroduced to its terpenes for the full effect of the cannabis entourage.
