Our cannabinoid potency method analyzes 11 of the major cannabinoids found in today’s hemp and hemp-derived products. Capable of distinguishing between broad-spectrum and full-spectrum products, our services give your consumers confidence that your labels are true to claim. We carry out potency testing on a Shimadzu HPLC-PDA system capable of detecting cannabinoids present in the parts-per-million range. We are capable of accurately testing any and all types of matrices ranging from biomass to concentrates to finished products.

For floral material, cannabinoid profiles are performed and measured on a dry weight basis, per the USDA’s Final Rule on the 2018 Farm Bill.*
