Canvas Labs holds a Health Canada license for analytical testing of cannabis. Looking for product release testing? Our Full Health Canada Panel test package can be used by Licensed Producers when they’re ready to send their next product or batch to market.

Absolutely! Feel free to stop by during our regular business hours for sample drop-off:

Monday to Friday: 9am – 5pm

Our buzzer number is 1004. 

Alternatively, samples can also be sent to the lab via mail or courier.

Place an order  and we’ll provide a Canada Post shipping label to attach to your package.

Please package samples in an airtight container or vacuum package, as Canada Post may intercept shipments that have an obvious cannabis odor.

Please include a completed Chain of Custody (COC)  form with the sample(s). We’ll call if  any  clarification is needed.

Turnaround time will depend on the number of tests  and the number of samples submitted.

Potency results are usually available in a few business days. More extensive testing can take a bit more time. with results usually available 6-8 business days after samples are received.

Health Canada Full Panel testing generally takes around 6-8 business days for completion.

We’d be happy to work something out based on your needs. Give us a call to discuss how we can help.

Required sample size will vary depending on requested testing. Contact us if you have any questions about how much sample material you should submit.

Providing a representative sample is crucial to accurate and reproducible test results. The product batch should be well mixed with a uniform distribution of parts throughout. Pull parts of our samples from different parts within your batch, at random, or systematically depending on your procedures.

The following sample sizes are recommended for basic cannabinoid potency testing. 

• Flower 2 – 3 grams
• Oil / Concentrates / Extracts 1 gram

In accordance with Health Canada, submitted samples cannot be returned. Unused remaining sample materials are kept on-hand for 2-4 weeks after testing before being destroyed.

We use an ICP-MS for heavy metals analysis and report on Arsenic, Cadmium, Lead and Mercury. Reporting on additional heavy metals is available on request.

We can test for propane, isobutane, butane, methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, acetone, hexane, heptane, and pentane. Reach out to let us know if there’s something else you’re looking for.

We recommend inquiring about pesticide testing with our Client Care Specialists.

Cannabis on the legal market has passed the Health Canada compliant 96 banned pesticide analysis prior to its release, so 2.0 products made from this cannabis may not  require  further testing.

We analyze and report on 39 different terpenes. Our Certificate of Analysis includes icons for the three most prominent aromas based on the sample’s terpene profile.
