LAS VEGAS, Jan. 22, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Digipath, Inc. (OTCQB: DIGP), a service-oriented independent testing laboratory, data and media firm focused on the developing cannabis and hemp markets, is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement to provide fully-functional potency testing laboratories for hemp production sites owned by Hemp, Inc. (OTC: HEMP) in North Carolina, Oregon and Arizona.
Under the terms of the agreement, Digipath will oversee and manage the construction and build out of a hemp potency-testing laboratory in three of Hemp's locations. Hemp. Inc. will provide the space for the testing laboratories at no cost to Digipath.
Once completed, the laboratories will be owned and operated by Digipath. The Company will provide all necessary laboratory-expertise and related management services to develop and operate each Lab, including purchasing and maintenance of the laboratory instrumentation, as well as hiring and comprehensive training of Lab Personnel. Digipath will also utilize its proprietary ISO-17025:2017 accredited standard operating procedures and testing protocols, to establish, maintain, and operate each Lab.
"Digipath was the logical choice to create and operate a stand-alone laboratory at each of our hemp production facilities," stated Bruce Perlowin, CEO, Hemp, Inc. "Digipath is a leader in cannabis and hemp testing best practices and continues to provide cutting edge testing services for this industry. These new Digipath labs will not only test all of our hemp products but will also be available for all of the local hemp farmers in each area to do their own required testing."
"Our agreement with Hemp, Inc. demonstrates Digipath's ability to leverage its proven methodology and install it virtually anywhere cannabis and hemp products are required to be tested," stated Todd Denkin, President and CEO, Digipath. "Working with a market leader like Hemp, Inc. is a tremendous opportunity for Digipath as we look to expand our presence both foreign and domestic."
