Cannabis Testing refers to the analysis that an individual sample of cannabis may be examined to determine such things as THC, CBD and terpene levels as well as for contaminants and impurities such as residual solvents, mold, disease, pests or pesticide residue. Methods of testing cannabis are the terpenoids test, microbiological test and the cannabinoids test.
Due to the complexity of cannabis product matrices, sample preparation for cannabinoid testing is very challenging. Accurate extraction and analysis......

The use of Δ8-THC in consumer products has caused safety concerns in the US. Though Δ9-THC is the main intoxicating component in the cannabis plant, its isomer, Δ8-THC, nat...
Like any other agricultural crop, pesticides are applied to hemp plants to protect it from pests and improve growth yield. Chronic exposure to pesticides can lead to serious health risks and...
Often overlooked but critical to most cannabis laboratory operations is sample workflow and sample preparation, having these areas figured out early in the start-up process is essential &nda...
In-house testing is not required federally; however, states differ in their requirements. Cannabis extraction laboratories need to test extracts for pesticides, heavy metals, residual solven...
Cannabis falls into a number of categories such as medicine, recreational drug, food source, and fiber, but it is first and foremost an agricultural crop. As such, Cannabis is subject to tre...
The agricultural sector has been through significant changes since the 2018 Farm Bill was enacted. Hemp production was legalized at the federal level in the United States. Hemp production an...
