Still haven't seen one thing that proves it works
People have units no one has proven it works yet. Would take a few minutes to load a couple samples and take a video, everyone's phone's have acceptable cameras now. 
Remember I called this! I knew they didn't have shit as far as a product went. This was a money grab, pure and simple. Nothing but vaporware.Still haven't seen one thing that proves it works
Pretty much everyone in this thread said that if they worked they'd buy one.
I'd rather have doubt and be proven wrong then to believe everything I see on the internet, this still sounds too good to be true.
Dollars to donuts it isn't accurate. What's the point if it isn't accurate and comprehensive?
Good post. I feel the same way about new strains. I'd rather sit on the sidelines for a bit and see the reviews first before jumping in.Still haven't seen one thing that proves it works

I don't think anyone will forget your position on this. lol
If I were a betting man I wouldn't bet against you on this one TY. I *hope* it works as advertised, but I won't be sold until I see some data that is backed up by lab tests from the same samples. Even if it's close (<10% margin of error) I would consider this a useful tool.
Agreed, when I checked them out a few months back it was still vapourware (still is imo) and their web site could have been built by my 6 year old grandson. Give us references, put them in the hands of some growers, compare the unit results against lab results, post all of that data so we can pick it apart, then I might consider forking out a few hundred bucks. Until then call me what you will but I'm skeptical...
That's a fair point.... and no I haven't
No shit? I wonder if that's the same deal as QuntaCann? It uses "near infrared spectrophotometry". I took a sample to a place in Ann Arbor and they had me test results in about 90 seconds. When I asked the guy how that's possible he told me basically what you mentioned above. It just compares your sample to the same strain in their database.
THAT'S NOT TESTING!!!!!
I think this pretty much puts this new portable bud "testing" technology to rest.
They were saying it's within 20% of lab work. That's not very good. However, that's good enough for me to be useful for my purposes. I'd like to know when I have certain cannabinoids at higher levels. You know, assuming it even works. They're also a few hundred, but still.
it doesn't test anything, that's the point.
Wah. It's gotta do something lol. Can someone please crack open their unit then so we can see the technology inside ?
This is taken from another site regarding the Steephill Quantacanna machines.
That second bit is laughable, because it's not an actual test for potency it's more accurate .... but it compares to the "less accurate" type of testing that they have recorded in their database. So wait a minute.... IF GC is not accurate or has all these failing points why would they have a database full of GC data that they then relay to the customer... I'm so fucking confused right now. THIS IS REGARDING THE QUANTACANNA machine. It's more accurate because there is less science and more guess work, I guess.
My Dx purports to use alternate technology - the electronic nose. The sample is vaporized and sensors are triggered according to the cannabinoids/terpenes present in the sample and a strain profile can be generated. Yes their sensors must be intially calibrated against something else initially ie GC results, but it seems really illogical and fraudulent to go back to a preset database to calculate each subsequent result after the initial calibration. I'm not saying the My Dx actually works (or does what it says) but that's how it was advertised and the core technology is out there so I'd like to see with my own eyes what it actually does. I've been following this project quite carefully and am familiar with other test methods available like TLC (thin layer chromatography), spectrophotometry, immuno-assays and of course HPLC and GC.
