When did you open?
We were processing samples for clients starting last January, so we've been in operation for 1 year.

What technology are you using?
We use Liquid Chromatography and Gas Chromatography both.

What do you test for?
We test for all cannabinoids above trace levels. We test for THCA, THC, CBDA, CBD, CBN and delta-8 THC. We also give qualitative information regarding CBGA/CBG, CBCA/CBC, and THVA/THV.

What's your turnaround time?
2-3 business days.

How many samples have you tested to date?
Between 1400-1600 samples.

How many are you testing per week at present?
30-50.

Do you test -or plan to test- for mold, pesticides, terpenes?
We have started testing for terpenes. We have the capacity to culture bacteria/fungus and hope to offer this service to clients asap. We just need more personal.

Do you test edibles and tinctures?
Yes, all of these we test.

By what method(s)?
We mainly test edibles/tinctures using the HPLC as it gives us information regarding acidic vs neutral cannabinoids. For edibles, this information is essential.

What is your pricing structure?
We have a number of services at different prices. We do spot checks (mainly for CBD) for $40/sample. Routine analysis for contract clients (those who test >10/week) at $60/sample. For our large providers (not under contract) we start at $99/sample. For patients who grow for themselves, we test for $69/sample.

Key personnel?
Mike Geci, MD. Ryan Holly, MS (Ryan has a Master's in Chemistry), and myself -- Noel Palmer PhD.
