1. An apparatus, comprising:
- a tray comprising a top portion a top portion and a bottom portion to contain a first analyte in a first cavity and a second analyte in a second cavity, the first analyte comprising a solvent and tetrahydrocannabinol and the second analyte comprising the solvent, the first cavity having a first bottom with a first substantially concave surface and a first top having a first substantially convex surface, the second cavity having a second bottom with a second substantially concave surface and a second top having a second substantially convex surface;
at least one locking feature to lock the top portion of the tray to the bottom portion of the tray such that the first substantially convex surface substantially uniformly spreads the first analyte about the first substantially concave surface and such that the second substantially convex surface substantially uniformly spreads the second analyte about the second substantially concave surface;
a light emitting device configured to generate a light to illuminate the first analyte and the second analyte contained in the tray with a light;
a light receiving device configured to receive a first portion of the light transmitted through the first analyte and configured to receive a second portion of the light transmitted through the second analyte; and
a control circuit configured to determine a concentration of tetrahydrocannabinol in the first analyte based at least in part on a comparison of an intensity of the first portion of the light transmitted through the first analyte received by the light receiving device and the second portion of the light transmitted through the second analyte received by the light receiving device.

Abstract
The present describes a system and method for determining the concentration of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) including a tray comprising a first analyte including an infusion of a solvent and cannabis, a light emitting element configured to illuminate the first analyte, a light receiving element configured to receive a first light transmitted through the first analyte, and a control circuit configured to calculate a concentration of tetrahydrocannabinol in the first analyte based at least in part on the first light.

8. A method, comprising:
-
containing a first analyte in a first cavity of a tray having a top portion and a bottom portion, the first analyte comprising a solvent and tetrahydrocannabinol and the first cavity comprising a first bottom having a first substantially concave surface and a first top having a first substantially convex surface; containing a second analyte in a second cavity of the tray, the second analyte comprising the solvent and the second cavity comprising a second bottom having a second substantially concave surface and a second top having a second substantially convex surface; locking the top portion of the tray to the bottom portion of the tray using at least one locking feature such that the first substantially convex surface substantially uniformly spreads the first analyte about the first substantially concave surface and such that the second substantially convex surface substantially uniformly spreads the second analyte about the second substantially concave surface; illuminating the first analyte with ultraviolet light; measuring a first intensity of a first portion of the ultraviolet light transmitted through the first analyte; illuminating the second analyte with ultraviolet light; measuring a second intensity of a second portion of the ultraviolet light transmitted through the second analyte; and determining a concentration of tetrahydrocannabinol in the first analyte by comparing the intensity of the first portion of the ultraviolet light transmitted through the first analyte to the intensity of the second portion of the ultraviolet light transmitted through the second analyte. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11)
