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 also include a Chain of Custody  form with the sample and order details, and contact info. 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 but  more extensive testing take a bit more time with results usually available within 6-8 business days after samples are received.

Health Canada Full Panel testing may take around 10 busines  days, but we’ll retest failed safety tests to double check, which takes more time. 

Sure, give us a call and we’ll work something out based on your needs.

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 per test.

  • Flower 1.5 g. – 3 g.
  • Oil/Concentrates/Extracts 1 g. – 3 g. (1 ml – 3 ml)
  • Tinctures minimum 5 – 15 ml 
  • Edible units (1 large, 3 medium, or 5 small servings)
  • Full Quality and Safety panels require at least 10 g. of flower.
  • The Health Canada panel requires at least 15 g. of flower.

In accordance with Health Canada, samples cannot be returned. Remaining samples are kept on hand for 4 weeks.

We use an ICP-MS for metals analysis, so we see pretty much all of the metal ions show up, but report on the “cadmium, cobalt, copper, lead, manganese, mercury, nickel,  zinc, and arsenic.

Please Note: Our brand new ICP-MS is currently being dialed in, and we outsource HC compliant metals  to a trusted partner lab.

We test for propane, isobutane, butane, methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, acetone, hexane, heptane, and pentane.

For homegrown cannabis, our pesticide screening tests for  12   pesticide compounds of concern common to household/gardening variety pesticides. This test is a far cry from the 96 banned pesticide analysis required by Health Canada from use on commercial cannabis. Commercially produced cannabis should be analyzed for 96 banned pesticides using our UHPLC-MS/MS.

  5. monocrotophos to 2.5 ppm, 
  6. dimethoate to 1.3 ppm,
