Tests Performed

• Cannabinoid potency
  Analysis of major cannabinoids by advanced chromatography. Cannabinoids make up the Total Active Cannabinoids (or TAC) number you typically see on batch labels. See the Cannabinoids and Terpenoids section for greater detail on exactly which cannabinoids are present in this product and batch and how they map to some of the unique mental and physical effects for each cannabinoid.
• Foreign materials
• Heavy metals
  The cannabis plant is an excellent bioremediator, soaking up a large majority of whatever the roots come in contact with. Using an Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer (ICP-MS), labs can quantify the amount of Arsenic (As), Cadmium (Cd), Mercury (Hg), and Lead (Pb), which can cause serious health problems if consumed even at very low levels.
• Homogeneity
• Microbials
  Yeast, mold, and bacteria, including E. coli and Salmonella, are microbiological contaminants that may be found in cannabis. Inhaling even small amounts of microbiological contaminants may lead to infections, especially in patients with compromised immune systems. By utilizing validated Most Probable Number (MPN) methods and Enzyme Linked Fluorescent Assay (ELFA), labs can confirm microbiological contaminants for any product.
• None
• Moisture content
• Mycotoxins
• Pesticides
  Pesticides are used to protect plants from biological pests, contaminants, and diseases. When inhaled, especially by patients with compromised immune systems, even small amounts of pesticides can cause serious health problems.
• None
• Residual solvents
  Solvents are used to separate cannabinoids and terpenes from the rest of the plant material during extraction. Following extraction, residual amounts of the solvents used may remain in the consumable product. Consuming products with high concentrations of residual solvents may be hazardous to a patient's health.
• Terpene profiling
  Analysis of terpenoids by G-C/MS. Terpenoids are responsible for the smell of cannabis and act upon receptors and neurotransmitters similar to antidepressants, can have anti-inflammatory properties, and more. See the Cannabinoids and Terpenoids section for greater detail on exactly which terpenoids are present in this product and batch and how they map to some of the unique mental and physical effects for each terpenoid.
• Water activity
• None
• Chemical residue
• None
