Radient’s unique, high-speed technology extracts more active ingredients than competing systems, while meeting rigorous standards of product safety and quality assurance. As a result, it places Radient as an international leader in the cannabis supply chain.
Radient has a patented, proprietary Microwave Assisted Processing or MAP™ technology. It is based on the selective and localized heating of the moisture present in all natural materials. This is achieved using microwaves as the energy source.
In general, microwaves interact with materials in three ways:
- Reflective materials such as metals do not heat (i.e. they do not absorb energy, but rather reflect the energy).
- Transparent materials such as most liquids other than water do not heat or reflect. Microwaves pass right through them and are only absorbed to a small extent.
- Similarly, Absorptive materials such as water absorb microwaves and are heated.
