Tests offered

8 / 12 in scope

Assay	Category	Status
Cannabinoid Potency Quantifies THC, CBD and minor cannabinoids. Required on every compliance panel and on the label of any product sold at retail.	Potency	In scope
Heavy Metals Measures lead, arsenic, cadmium and mercury. Cannabis is a hyperaccumulator, so contaminated soil shows up in the finished product.	Safety & contaminants	In scope
Microbial Contaminants Screens for total yeast and mould, coliforms, E. coli, salmonella and Aspergillus species. Required before any product reaches a patient.	Safety & contaminants	In scope
Mycotoxins Detects aflatoxins and ochratoxin A produced by mould. Mandatory in most regulated markets because the toxins survive processing.	Safety & contaminants	In scope
Pesticide Residue Screens for regulated pesticide residues at parts-per-billion levels. A failure here is the most common cause of a batch being destroyed.	Safety & contaminants	In scope
Residual Solvents Confirms that butane, ethanol, propane and other extraction solvents have been purged below action limits. Applies to concentrates and vapes.	Safety & contaminants	In scope
Stability & Shelf Life Repeat testing across a storage window to establish an expiry date and prove potency claims hold over time.	Stability	In scope
Terpene Profile Identifies and quantifies the aromatic compounds that drive strain character. Usually optional for compliance, but a major marketing input.	Quality	In scope
Moisture & Water Activity	Quality	Not held
Filth & Foreign Matter	Safety & contaminants	Not held
Homogeneity	Quality	Not held
Vitamin E Acetate	Safety & contaminants	Not held
