Cannabis Pesticide Testing. Pesticides are often used to combat weeds, insects, fungi, and small animals, supporting the long-term survival of cannabis crops. However, pesticides can also be extremely harmful to human health, which has led to the development of required pesticide testing for retail/medical marijuana flower and concentrates. Nordic Analytical Laboratories is proud to partner with Colorado cannabis growers, producers, retailers, and other industry members to provide pesticide testing that exceeds industry standards. Scientifically accurate and highly precise, our testing process is certified by the Colorado MED.

Nordic Analytical Laboratories administers certified pesticide testing services for all pesticide compounds regulated by the MED. Our extensive panel evaluates medical and retail batches for MED-specified pesticides in accordance with Colorado cannabis regulations. Unless you have achieved process validation according to MED regulations, pesticide testing is mandatory for all harvest batches and production batches of concentrates(medical and retail).
