Segra International Wins the Award for Best Genetics Provider

In September 2022 at the Grow Up awards in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Segra took home the award for Best Genetics Provider. This award is given to the nominee with the greatest number of votes from the industry. We are honored to be the top choice for genetics among all the great companies nominated in this category.

At Segra, we focus on being a leader in Cannabis tissue culture with a strong portfolio of cultivars. The 2022 issue of our Cannabis Catalogue displayed our award-winning genetic selection that was met with great praise from Canadian and international customers. However, the value Segra offers customers is recognized as not only providing great genetics, but also in the quality and integrity of the standards we uphold.

  • Segra owns and operates a best-in-class molecular biology lab for all our testing.
  • Segra has created 8 PCR-based pathogen assays for cannabis, developed in-house by our molecular biology team.
  • Segra has one of the most reliable Hop Latent Viroid (HLVd) assays in the country
  • Segra runs our in-house DNA Fingerprinting process to ensure true-to-type genetic supply and maintains an extensive database of all samples processed to date; over 6,500.
  • All cultivars in Segra’s inventory are routinely tested for our full pathogen panel, and DNA Fingerprints are regularly verified.
  • Each order that leaves our facility is tested for Hop Latent Viroid (HLVd), is DNA Fingerprinted, and pest inspections are conducted. All tests must pass before shipment is released.
  • Segra has been able to initiate and regenerate cultivars back to their truest form, remediating pathogens through our apical meristem tissue culture process. To date, we have successfully initiated over 80 client cultivars.
  • All Segra cultivars are regenerated from the same gold standard, apical meristematic tissue culture.

We are proud of our team for maintaining high standards and integrity while providing the industry with true-to-type, clean genetics. At Segra, we are regularly running cultivation trials with new genetics, working with amazing genetic providers & evolving our research and development. Look out for Segra in 2023 to provide new cultivar offerings, novel cannabis science & new tissue culture technology.
