VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA, March 26, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- 3R Biotech Ltd. ("3R"), a global leader in plant tissue culture technology, is excited to announce a new partnership with Northern Leaf, a leading pharmaceutical cannabis producer based in Jersey, which is one of the Channel Islands and is a self-governing British Crown Dependency. Through this collaboration, 3R will establish an onsite Tissue Culture and HLVd Testing lab within Northern Leaf’s facility. This setup will provide direct access to high-quality, clean, and disease-free cannabis starter plants, along with 3R’s proprietary remediation techniques.

The onsite lab will leverage 3R’s advanced HLVd Testing platform, Tissue Culture processes for HLVd remediation, genetic storage and preservation, and large-scale micropropagation to serve the European market. This will enhance Northern Leaf’s ability to protect and maintain elite genetics while further establishing the company as a centre of excellence for cannabis production and genetic storage in Europe.

Steven Tan, CEO of Northern Leaf, commented: “Partnering with 3R brings world-class technology into our facility, enhancing control over plant health and genetic integrity. Their expertise in pathogen testing and HLVd mitigation is critical to protecting our crops and strengthening our position as a European leader in pharmaceutical cannabis.”
