MyDx Inc. (fka MYDX)

On its site, MyDx posts (unpaid, unsponsored) user reviews from social media and its online store. One user, Francis Janik, posted that “We compared the results from the DX to gas chromatography and found it to be very close.”

Another user, Patrick King, commenting on Facebook, wrote: “The reports and informative information on the app is WAY more than you get with your local lab reports.” King added that he compared MyDx results to standard lab tests and found the results “within 10 – 15% accuracy of lab reports.”

Not everyone is sold, though. The reviewer in this video, despite being optimistic about the device’s potential, felt that it “falls short.” That assessment was based on a discrepancy between results for THC and terpenes she obtained from the MyDx compared with those from a dispensary. The THC results varied by three percentage points.

Last quarter, the company reported $280,000 in sales. Yazbeck estimates nearly half of that came from commercial growers, with the remaining half split between dispensaries, consumers, and home growers—an indication of just who might find the product most useful.

Unless technology improves dramatically (we’re looking at you, NASA!) the MyDx is not likely to replace standard lab tests, but could offer pretty remarkable results to anyone who doesn’t have space in their living room for a $50,000 home lab—or doesn’t have the time or cash for those tests.
