Make informed choices about the quality, viability, health risks, and effectiveness of cannabis and hemp that you produce, process, or consume.
Cannabinoids
小标语
Cannabinoids are chemical compounds found in cannabis, hemp and hops. These compounds, also known as phytocannabinoids, are found in the highest concentration in the flowering portion of the plant, specifically within the resin glands located on the flower. At Green Leaf Lab, we test for 14 different cannabinoids.
Terpenes
小标语
Terpenes are the flavor and aroma compounds found in plant resins. There are thousands found in the plant kingdom and more than 100 known to be in cannabis alone. Terpenes are the chemical compounds that provide the aroma and flavor of cannabis varieties, such as earthy and spicy or sweet and fruity. Terpenes are known as the “fingerprint” of a cannabis strain. Green Leaf Lab currently tests for 42 terpenes.
Pesticides
小标语
Pesticides are commonly used in agricultural production. Research shows that pesticides have negative impacts on health and wellness. As more research is conducted and published, specifically on the impact of pesticide inhalation, pesticide testing will continue to develop in the cannabis industry. We ensure our pesticide testing is accurate and legally defensible by utilizing two separate instruments, GC-MS MS and LC-MS MS to perform a pesticide test. This gives our clients and consumers peace of mind.
Product Development
小标语
With years of cannabis testing experience, combined with nutraceutical and pharmaceutical product development experience, we continually push the industry forward by providing consulting on product development and production practices. This ensures cannabis goods are manufactured accurately and consistently. We have worked closely with many of the leading brands you trust in cannabis goods. Our expertise ensures the successful development of new products and a competitive advantage for our clients.
Sampling
小标语
The representative sampling of cannabis and cannabis products is the first step to ensure accurate test results and therefore the accurate labeling of those goods. If the sample collected does not properly reflect the entire batch of cannabis or cannabis goods, the test results will not be representative and therefore inaccurate. This can create issues for both cannabis businesses and consumers alike. At Green Leaf Lab we pride ourselves on going above and beyond to ensure batches are sampled following a comprehensive sampling protocol to ensure accurate results and defensible data.
Foreign Material
小标语
Foreign materials are items that are typically unwanted in the production of food or products, such as stems, insects, sand, dirt or other unwanted fragments. Foreign materials typically found in cannabis are dirt, sand, insects or soil. California requires laboratories to perform foreign material inspections that must not exceed acceptable limits.
