Why Testing Matters
Regulatory compliance testing protects consumers from harmful contaminants, ensures accurate product labeling, and builds trust in Minnesota’s cannabis industry. Our comprehensive testing services identify potential safety hazards—from microbial pathogens to heavy metals to pesticide residues—before products reach the market, safeguarding public health and your business reputation.
Our Testing Services
Microbial Testing
Comprehensive screening for harmful bacteria, yeast, mold, and pathogenic organisms to ensure products are safe for consumption. We detect dangerous contaminants that could pose serious health risks to consumers.
Mycotoxin Testing
Sensitive detection of harmful fungal toxins that pose serious health risks when present in cannabis products. Allows us to protect consumers from dangerous mold-derived contaminants that can develop during cultivation and storage.
Heavy Metal Testing
Quantification of toxic heavy metals, including lead, and mercury, that can accumulate in cannabis plants from soil and environmental sources or leech from vape hardware. So we can ensure products meet strict safety thresholds to protect consumer health.
Pesticide Testing
Thorough screening for residues from agricultural chemicals that may persist through cultivation and processing. We verify that products are free from harmful pesticide contamination for regulatory compliance and consumer confidence.
Residual Solvent Testing
Identification of potentially harmful solvents that may remain after cannabis extraction and manufacturing. Ensuring concentrates and processed products meet established safety limits to protect consumers from chemical exposure.
Foreign Matter Testing
Visual examination to detect physical contaminants and adulterants that compromise product quality. We identify unwanted materials that could affect safety or consumer experience.
Potency Testing
Accurate quantification of THC, CBD, and other cannabinoids to verify label claims and ensure proper dosing. Our methods provide the precision needed for regulatory compliance and consumer confidence.
Our Testing Process
Sample Collection & Chain of Custody
Proper sampling is critical to accurate results. We work with cultivators and manufacturers to ensure representative samples are collected following Minnesota’s technical standards. Every sample is tracked through our secure chain of custody system.
Laboratory Analysis
Our scientists perform comprehensive testing using validated analytical methods and advanced instrumentation. Quality control samples accompany every batch to verify accuracy and reliability of results.
Results Review & Certificate of Analysis
Every result is reviewed by our quality assurance team before issuing your Certificate of Analysis. We provide clear pass/fail determinations and detailed analytical data to support regulatory compliance.
