High North
Launching Canada’s first cannabis lab
High North is Canada’s first lab dedicated to cannabis
testing. They have a fully-digital facility with the world’s
most sophisticated Laboratory Information Management
System (LIMS). High North provides seamless account
setup, ordering, real-time tracking, test results and Health
Canada Certificate of Analysis. It’s a fully transparent
system that tests for 16 cannabinoids, 55 terpenes, 98
pesticides, USP 467, as well as microbials and heavy
metals. Turnaround time is usually 24 hours (and never
more than 48 hours). Chapeau! led the research and
implementation of the required technologies. High North’s
vision is reality. And Chapeau! is proud to have helped
make the dream come true.

Why
Because LPs deserve state-of-the-art testing
Cannabis was about to be legalized. Strains had
to be tested to receive a Certificate of Analysis
(CoA) from Health Canada. The testing facilities
across the country analyzed many plant products
from all across the agriculture sector. So there
was problem number 1: No testing facility was
dedicated to cannabis. Problem number 2: The
existing test process was also antiquated. It was
paper-based. Canada’s Licenced Producers (LPs)
would be waiting 30 days for their results —
whether or not they passed for approval. We saw
an opportunity. We knew we could do better. It
was the genesis of High North.
How
With smooth, seamless data design
We made plans to create Canada’s first lab
dedicated to cannabis testing. We’d use a state-of-the-art LIMS. All digital, no paper. We’d rapidly
test all cannabinoids, turpenes, etc. with 100%
accuracy. We’d accommodate hundreds or
thousands of samples per day. We’d provide our
clients with real-time status and full transparency.
We’d supply a comprehensive, easy-to-read
analysis. We’d automate the CoA process. We’d
have a 24- to 48-hour turnaround from receipt of
sample to CoA (or result, in the case of failed
samples). And we’d hire Chapeau! who
researched, stress-tested and found the perfect
LIMS, customized the interface, designed the
reports, architected the data flow and integrated
the entire digital system. With Chapeau! we
designed and developed a seamless, 5-step
process, from client onboarding through CoA —
with order placement, real-time tracking and
results output in between. The data engineers and
visual designers at Chapeau! delivered. And they
did it in 6 months!
So what?
So, Canada’s got cannabis testing right as rain
Full circle. We did it. High North Labs was the first.
Our cannabis-only Canadian test facility is
arguably the best on the planet. And now LPs,
investors, lenders as well as end-customers can
make informed and timely decisions on futures,
crops, processing, sales and purchases.
Cannabis is one of the most innovative industries
in North America. And now Canada has a lab to
match. With much thanks to Chapeau!
