Cannabis Testing Services: Introduction

Cannabis testing services are analytical services that are offered to test and analyze cannabis and products generated from cannabis for a variety of quality characteristics, safety standards, potency, and legal compliance. These services are necessary to guarantee product quality, consumer safety, and industry compliance. Most cannabis testing services also cover microbiological testing, contaminant testing, residual solvent analysis, terpene profiling, and various other types of analyses.

Evaluation of the product's medicinal potential and psychotropic effects is aided by potency testing. Testing for contaminants makes sure that the cannabis product is devoid of any potentially dangerous elements. A residual solvent analysis is carried out to determine whether any residual solvents are present and to make sure that if they are present, they are within safe levels.

Global Cannabis Testing Services Market Analysis

As the cannabis market is growing globally, appropriate regulation and product qualification is mandatory. This compulsion has increased the safety and quality checks for cannabis products, propelling the global cannabis testing services market growth. Cannabis products are subjected to several stringent testing techniques for pesticides, residual solvents, heavy metals, mycotoxins, and microbiological contaminants in order to guarantee customer safety. Such security precautions make it a reliable product and boost usage, which directly increases the demand for cannabis testing services on the market worldwide.

The development of advanced testing technologies, such as high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), gas chromatography (GC), mass spectrometry (MS), and molecular testing approaches, is further boosting the market for cannabis testing. Organizations like the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the Association of Official Agricultural Chemists (AOAC) are also preparing some guidelines and methods for cannabis testing to promote consistency and comparability of results across different testing laboratories and jurisdictions.

    How Do Licenses Work?

    How Do Licenses Work?

    The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

    • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

    • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

    • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

    • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

    • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

    License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
