IRVINE, Calif., Aug. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — ABSTRAX, an industry leader in the study and production of cannabis and botanically-derived terpenes, has successfully passed the rigorous approval process set forth by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB). Now, ABSTRAX’s aroma and flavor-rich terpene blends can be used in cutting-edge alcoholic beverage formulations by brands seeking «functional» aromas and flavors for their products to enhance the consumer experience.

«This is an exciting moment for our team,» says T.J. Martin, Director of Research and Development at ABSTRAX. «We worked around the clock to make this happen, as the certification process is quite intensive.»

According to US regulations, the TTB is given the authority to tax alcohol and tobacco containing products. Thus, all alcohol containing beverages must have their formulations approved by the TTB, which means that all ingredients they use must also be approved in order for a beverage to be approved for sale domestically.

«We were thrilled to see our hard work pay off,» says Martin. «Now our cannabis inspired terpenes (all of which are THC, cannabis, and hemp-free) can be added to alcoholic beverages including beers, liquors, sparkling seltzers, mixed drinks, and, and more.»

For ABSTRAX, the TTB approval process worked as follows:

1. The team was required to submit all formulas to the TTB in order to be granted a submission account.

2. Once the account was granted, ABSTRAX was then able to submit its individual flavors for approval. The process required that specific rules and regulations surrounding naming conventions, ingredient usage levels, accepted ingredients, ingredient status (synthetic vs natural and what constitutes a natural designation) were carefully followed.

3. Once each sample was received, it was analyzed by the TTB’s beverage lab team, along with ABSTRAX’s application.

4. The TTB’s team then requested edits and provided comments on each formulation, and once all edits/comments were addressed, the samples and application were reviewed to determine if they met the TTB’s needs and requests.

5. When a flavor was approved, a Flavor Ingredient Data sheet was generated (aka FIDS) and was approved for use in alcoholic beverage applications.

ABSTRAX is now one of a few innovative terpene focused flavor houses in the world that offers one-of-a-kind TTB approved terpene flavorings and custom formulations including but not limited to; Gelato, Clementine, King Louie XIII, SFV OG, Gelato, Jack Herer, Master Kush, Mango, Strawberry Fruit, Mimosa, and Pineapple Express.

We are now working with a range of beverage companies including craft breweries and distilleries to develop custom flavor systems and complete beverage formulas using our terpenes as key ingredients to develop very unique and new functional beverage products. Our clients can now leverage our ingredients to create very dynamic beverages with more complex cannabis notes that were previously unachievable.

«We look forward to continuing our terpene research program and exploring the range of many benefits surrounding terpenes and their impact on flavor and aroma formulations. We can now design beer and alcohol beverages using specific dominant terpenes and more complex formulas to achieve positive benefits for the mood and body — to help achieve the ultimate beverage experience,» says Max Koby, CEO and Co-founder at ABSTRAX.

WATERLOO, Ontario, Aug. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Siborg Systems Inc. is hosting a sale on their online store and other sales channels. The sale will include LCR-Reader-MPA devices, including the base model, MPA BT with Bluetooth and MPAL Low Frequency, LCR-Reader models, and Smart Tweezers multimeters, including the bluetooth model ST5S-BT.

Siborg offers testing and debugging tools for Surface Mount Technology that combine a powerful multimeter with a set of tweezer probes. LCR-Reader has become Siborg’s best selling device since its release in 2014. The 1 oz. device has a 0.5% basic accuracy and is able to identify components and select the best test parameters before testing. All of Siborg’s devices come with sharp, gold-plated tweezer tips that can hold components up to 0204 size.

Siborg offers a wide range of test devices for Surface Mount Technology; their design combines a set of tweezer probes built into a compact yet powerful multimeter. The LCR-Reader line of devices has significantly grown since its debut in 2014. Each device is able to identify components and determine the best test parameters to use to provide high accuracy results. Users aren’t required to set-up measurements between components and can grasp and hold components without the use of long wire leads. The flagship device, the LCR-Reader is able to test with 0.5% basic accuracy, but users are only able to change the test mode.

The LCR-Reader-MPA has the widest range of features and the highest basic accuracy at 0.1%. The MPA’s features include voltage/current measurement, diode/LED test, oscilloscope mode, frequency meter, Super Cap testing up to 680 mF, pulse counting, AC/DC voltage measurements, and more. One of the main features of the MPA is the ability to test components using a 100 kHz test frequency that allows for 1 nH resolution and a 0.01 pF resolution for capacitance.

There are 3 different models of MPA available; the base model, a low-frequency model and the Bluetooth model. The low-frequency model has less test frequencies, ranging from 100 Hz to 10 kHz. The Bluetooth enabled model allows users to remotely record measurement values in real-time using PC or Android. These values can be saved into a database or file for later analysis. Users are also able to set profiles that grant a pass or fail to the component depending on if it meets the parameters set.

Features on LCR-Reader-MPA:

• 0.1% basic accuracy
• LCR/ESR, LED/Diode testing
• 3 signal test levels of 0.1, 0.5, and 1.0 Vrms

TORONTO, Aug. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Car share programs are not new but Toronto’s Eligo Cars stands out from the pack on a number of fronts, the latest is their new partnership with the Nature Conservancy Canada and commitment to donate $3 per day for every car rented.

The rise in popularity of car shares is a direct result of urban issues such as traffic congestion, limited parking availability, and costs of storing and maintaining a car. With Eligo Cars extra emphasis is placed on the positive impact of eco-friendly car sharing. Car sharing has the potential to remove 6 to 20 cars from traffic, depending on location. There are also a wide array of vehicles including many electric and hybrid options that may not be accessible through traditional car rental companies. In addition, car owners are incentivized to drive less and share more by increasing their earning potential.

Eligo Cars has made the peer-to-peer car sharing process simple, easy and safe for car owners. Eligo’s commercial insurance policy covers cars valued up to $500,000.00 and takes care of 100% of damages. Eligo Cars has thought of every concern a car owner might have, and offers innovative solutions.

Anyone renting an Eligo car is also provided with safeguards to ensure their safety and address their concerns. All consumers are vetted through a registration process, and all cars available for rent are in great working order, have a clean title and are in excellent condition as per Eligo’s Maintenance and Safety Requirements.

It is costly to own a car, and in many urban areas residents do not actually have easy access to vehicles. A car share program not only solves the pitfalls of car ownership, it also makes dreams a reality! One of the greatest benefits of Eligo Cars is the diversity of vehicles available. Eligo specializes in connecting car owners and drivers who share a common passion for automotive design, the driving experience, and the perfect moment. Unlike other traditional car rental agencies or car sharing services, Eligo focuses on the experience, and sharing that experience with others. Many can only dream of driving the newest Tesla, revving the engine of a sleek sports car, or driving to the beach in a classic convertible. Eligo Cars makes these dreams a reality every day.

More About Eligo Cars:
Eligo Cars, launched by car enthusiasts, is the first, pure Canadian car share start up in the sector. For many, vehicle ownership is expensive and impractical in many urban settings, making car sharing a perfect fit. Eligo Cars connects owners and drivers that share a common passion. Luxury, Sport, Electric and Exotic vehicles are available through Eligo’s innovative technology that streamlines the peer-to-peer car sharing experience, from planning and booking, to delivery and return, and all points in between. Now available in Ontario, Eligo Cars plans to expand to Quebec, Alberta, British Columbia and Nova Scotia by year-end.
