Testing for Moisture Content in Cannabis
Moisture Content Testing. Because testing for cannabis moisture content can be the difference between a high-quality, safe product and one that puts consumers at harm, securing an excellent testing provider is key to the success of your business.
While cannabis and hemp plants require a steady supply of water to thrive, it is critical that the final product is properly stripped of moisture. Unfortunately, over-moisturization is a common occurrence that can result from overwatering, ineffective curing, or high environmental humidity. For growers that utilize an outdoor growing environment, the risk is particularly high.
But with cannabis moisture content testing from Nordic Analytical Laboratories, you can be confident that your harvested product meets your standards for quality and safety. Upon request, Nordic Analytical Laboratories will provide analyses of cannabis moisture content for all samples submitted for flower potency testing. Using our expert testing methods, you can pinpoint the originating causes of variability in potency testing results, as well as determining factors in the microbial total yeast and mold results.
