CANNABINOID POTENCY TESTING

With over 100 phytocannabinoids comprising significant portions of cannabis floral biomass, accurate and reliable cannabinoid quantification is critical to a representative potency profile. High performance liquid chromatography provides selective separation of cannabinoids andPLC offers quantitative analysis of cannabinoid potency with a diode array detector. We utilize HPLC-DAD potency testingtest for the following: CBC, CBCa, CBD, CBDa, CBDV, CBDVa, CBG, CBGa, CBN, delta-9-THC, delta-8- THC, THCa, THCV and THCVa.

FILTH AND FOREIGN MATERIAL INSPECTION

Testing for filth & foreign material allows us to identify via microscope camera what is present in the sample, which includes but is not limited to: hair, insects, feces, dirt, contaminants, manufacturing waste and other by-products.

HEAVY METAL TESTING

HEAVY METAL TESTING

Trace heavy metals are introduced to cannabis by bioaccumulation, into plant tissue from contaminated soil and water, and during processing. ICP-/MS facilitateshas been a reliable elemental analysis source of instrumentation for testing heavy metals detection and quantification for elements such as lead, mercury, cadmium, and arsenic. Reducing the exposure to these heavy metals will reduce the risk of adverse health effects, especially in consumers who have an already-compromised immune system.

MICROBIOLOGICAL TESTING

MICROBIOLOGICAL TESTING

The same conditions that are ideal for the cultivation of cannabinoids are also ideal for the germination of hundreds of bacteria and fungi, which are found in water, soil and air. Yeast and molds can grow in decaying vegetation, and residual moisture can encourage bacterial growth. We use RYM 3M Petrifilm plating and PCR to determine the presence of pathogenic Aspergillus species (A. fumigatus, A. flavus, A. niger, A. terreus), Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) and Salmonella spp.

MOISTURE CONTENT TESTING

MOISTURE CONTENT TESTING

Moisture content is the total amount of water present in a cannabis product. Microbial growth such as molds and mildew thrive in wet environments, creating an unsafe product leading to product loss and, potentially, a damaged reputation.

MYCOTOXINS TESTING

Fungal and mold colonies contaminate cannabis products with harmful secondary metabolites: mycotoxins. Exposure and consumption of even minute levels pose risks to patients. Liquid chromatography (LC) in conjunction with tandem mass spectrometry (MS) permits picogram level quantitation for fungal toxins. The current regulatory list of analyzed toxins include:. LCMS-MS tests for Aflatoxins (B1, B2, G1, and G2) and Ochratoxin A.

PESTICIDE TESTING

Widespread Residual pesticides useutilized in agriculture, now and in the past, poses risk for medicinal cannabis patients and consumers. Trace levels of pesticides are separated with liquid chromatography and quantitated through tandem mass spectrometry. Low level analysis of residual pesticides by LCMS provides reliable and accurate detection. (triple quad achive reliable sensitivity to picograms of residual pesticides. Through LCMS analy sis The triple quadrupole mass spectrometer analyzes Tthe following residual pesticides are analyzed with our LCMS panel: Abamectin (Avermectins B1a and B1b), Azoxystrobin, Bifenazate, Etoxazole, Imazalil, Imidacloprid, Malathion, Myclobutanil, Permethrin, Spinosad (A & D), Spiromesifen, Spirotetramat and Tebuconazole.

RESIDUAL SOLVENT TESTING

16 common volatile organic solvents are used in the extraction of marijuana-derived cannabinoids, terpenoids, and flavonoids. The process of extraction and concentration leaves solvent residue and impurities in final cannabis products. Our residual solvent testing via HS-GCMS offers a quantitative analysis of the following sovlents:. 16 solvents commonly used in the extraction of marijuana-derived cannabinoids to make concentrated forms of: Acetone, Acetonitrile, Benzene, Butane, Ethanol, Ethyl Ether, Ethylene Oxide, Heptane, Hexane, Isopropanol, Methanol, Pentane, Propane, Toluene, m,p-Xylene and o-Xylene.

TERPENE TESTING

Composed of the base monomer isoprene, terpenes comprise one of the most abundant and diverse classes of chemicals found in living organisms. Volatile terpenes are precisely coupled with gas chromatography for efficient separation and quantification through selective mass spectrometry. HS-GCMS analysis across a 23 compund range includes the following major terpenes: is our source for terpene profiling. We test for 23 major terpenes: a-Bisabolol, Camphene, delta-3- Carene, Caryophyllene Oxide, b-Caryophyllene, p-Cymene, Eucalyptol, Geraniol, Guaiol, a-Humulene, Isopulegol, d-Limonene, Linalool, b- Myrcene, Nerolidol 1, Nerolidol 2, a-Ocimene, b-Ocimene, a-Pinene, b- Pinene, a-Terpinene, y-Terpinene and Terpinolene.

WATER ACTIVITY TESTING

Water activity determines how susceptible a product is to microbial contamination. It is a key indicator that your product will maintain its quality, freshness, and integrity throughout its expected shelf life. Water activity is measured with the TDL meter.
