Basic Cannabinoid and Terpene Potency Testing
Our Basic Cannabinoid and Terpene Potency Testing is the backbone of our lab, providing precise analysis of 30+ cannabinoids—including THC, CBD, CBG, CBC, CBN, THCV, CBDV, CBDA, THCA, and CBGA—and 60+ terpenes such as myrcene, limonene, pinene, linalool, caryophyllene, humulene, terpinolene, ocimene, nerolidol, and eucalyptol. Using GC/GC-MS for terpenes and cannabinoids, HPLC for cannabinoids, we ensure accurate profiles to support compliance and quality assurance.
Food, drink and cosmetics
Even in more complex matrices, it is possible to determine the contents of both cannabinoids and terpenes. These are matrices such as gummy candies, chocolate, wine and beer, as well as simple or more complex cosmetic products. In these cases, the method is decided after consulting the client, as it depends mainly on the complexity of the matrix (the presence of other substances in the sample) and the desired limit of quantification.
Semisythetic and synthetic cannabinoids testing
Our Semi-Synthetic and Synthetic Cannabinoid Testing includes quantification for 100+ cannabinoid-type compounds such as 9R-Hexahydrocannabinol (R-HHC), isomers of Delta-9-THC, acetates of cannabinoids (e.g., Delta-9-THC Acetate, Δ9-THCO), and hydrogenated derivatives like HHC, HHCP, and H4CBD. We also screen for cannabinoid mimetics (Spice compounds) to ensure compliance and safety, including compounds like JWH-018, AM-2201, HU-210, XLR-11, and AB-FUBINACA. Using GC-MS and GC-FID, we provide accurate, reliable results. Our library is constantly updated to keep pace with emerging compounds and regulatory standards, supporting your products with the latest in cannabinoid testing.
Comprehensive Testing for Contaminants and Impurities
Our Food Compliance Testing for cannabis and related products ensures the highest safety and regulatory standards, covering microbiological testing for harmful bacteria, yeasts, and molds, pesticide testing for purity and compliance, mycotoxin testing to detect toxic fungal by-products, heavy metal testing for lead, cadmium, arsenic, and mercury, and residual solvent testing to ensure solvent levels are within safe limits. This comprehensive suite supports safe, high-quality cannabis products that meet stringent health and safety regulations.
Deformulation, research
Cannabis is truly a unique plant, as it produces or biosynthesizes more than 400 different identified molecules. In this abundance of different substances, its basic composition is vital for the functioning of the final mixture. With our knowledge and equipment (both gas and liquid chromatography are coupled with a mass selective detector) we can help you dive into the individual layers of this complexity. If you need help with your research, we are glad to help! Contact us and we will discuss the optimal path for your product.
