Step up your game with strain-specific terpenes
Solvent-Free Terpene Extraction
Cryogenic capture preserves each strain's cannabis terpenes exactly as nature created them — unchanged, unaltered, and wholly natural. Lab-blended botanical terpenes can never recreate what the plant itself produced.
The Machine
The STX-90 is a solventless pre-process terpene extraction system that cryogenically captures each strain's complete aromatic profile before cannabinoid extraction begins — leaving the biomass with lower moisture content and gently conditioned for the next stage of processing.
Compatible with leaves, trim, and small nuggets, the STX-90 means there's no need to sacrifice premium flower. The result is a strain-specific cannabis-derived terpene isolate of greater than 99.9% purity that can be reintroduced downstream for a full-spectrum final product delivering the genuine entourage experience that lab-blended botanical terpenes cannot replicate.

Liquid nitrogen temperatures lock in every volatile terpene molecule and other cannabis aromatic compounds before heat or solvents can touch the biomass.
Zero solvents, zero contamination. The STX-90 relies entirely on cold, nitrogen, pressure and vacuum — nothing else enters the product.
Greater than 99.9% pure cannabis-derived terpene isolates, preserving each strain's authentic aromatic fingerprint.
Compatible with leaves, trim, and small nuggets. Plugs into any existing extraction workflow as a pre-process step.
Know the Difference
Not all terpenes are created equal. Most products on the market use botanical terpenes — isolated from lavender, citrus, hops, and pine — then lab-blended to approximate a strain profile. The STX-90 delivers something fundamentally different.
Extracted from non-cannabis plants — citrus, lavender, hops, pine — then lab-blended to mimic strain profiles.
Solventlessly extracted directly from cannabis biomass, strain by strain, cryogenically preserved.
An approximation. Lab-formulated ratios are an educated guess of what the plant naturally produced.
The real thing. Exact terpene fingerprint of the source cultivar, preserved intact.
Typically only dominant monoterpenes (myrcene, limonene, linalool). Minor sesqui- and diterpenes are entirely absent.
Full spectrum — mono-, sesqui-, di-, and triterpenes in their natural ratios, including rare minor compounds.
Incomplete at best. Without minor compounds and cannabis-native ratios, true synergy with cannabinoids cannot be replicated.
Genuine. The exact compounds that co-evolved with cannabinoids, producing the full intended plant experience.
Unknown risk. Botanical isolates heated and aerosolized have not been studied for repeated pulmonary exposure.
Established profile. Humans have inhaled cannabis terpenes from flower for centuries — same compounds, same native context.
Rarely disclosed. Products often list "terpenes" without specifying source, leading consumers to assume cannabis origin.
Transparent by nature. Verified cannabis-origin, traceable to a specific strain and harvest.
"We are on a mission to replace botanically sourced terpenes with the real thing. A genuine entourage experience requires genuine cannabis-derived terpenes. There is no shortcut."
