Cannabis Lab Testing Services in Colorado
State-Certified Testing Services
According to Colorado MED regulations, potency testing is required for all medical and retail marijuana flower, concentrates, and infused products. The only exception to this rule is if and when process validation is achieved (where applicable) according to state law. Our Denver and Pueblo cannabis testing facilities provide laboratory services that meet all MED standards, delivering the ultimate in convenience and reliability to cannabis businesses and organizations throughout Colorado.
For Colorado cannabis-infused products manufacturers, homogeneity tests can be an extremely useful tool for confirming the proper concentration levels are being utilized in product formulations. Because concentration levels that are either too high or too low can lead to unsatisfactory consumer experiences, homogeneity testing is vital for all cannabis manufacturers and retailers. The cannabis lab testing services available at Nordic Analytical Laboratories include homogeneity tests, allowing our clients to adhere to MED regulations and consistently monitor their product quality, safety, and efficacy.
Residual Solvents Analysis Testing
Residual solvent testing is a critical measure in protecting the quality and integrity of your cannabis products, guarding against potentially harmful contaminants. Nordic Analytical Laboratories is a trusted provider of residual solvent testing for Colorado cannabis producers, dispensaries, agencies, and other related organizations, delivering an exemplary standard of laboratory testing that properly follows all state regulations.
For cannabis growers, producers, and retailers, microbial testing is an essential step in validating the quality and safety of cannabis products. In the process of cannabis cultivation, the potential for contamination is always a concern. Salmonella and STEC (Shiga-toxin-producing E. Coli) pose serious health risks to consumers (particularly those with weakened immune systems), resulting in a wide range of health issues.
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. 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.
According to the Colorado state mandate, all medical and recreational marijuana harvest batches, and production batches of concentrates and infused products are required to undergo heavy metals testing in the interest of consumer safety. Nordic Analytical Laboratories provides precision-level heavy metals testing for clients at our Colorado cannabis labs, helping you ensure that your products adhere to state cannabis regulations.
According to Colorado MED regulations, all cannabis concentrates produced using materials that have failed required yeast and mold testing must undergo mycotoxin testing. In addition, flower batches that have undergone decontamination are also required to be tested for mycotoxins.
According to Colorado MED regulations, all cannabis flower harvest batches, except fresh frozen batches, are required to be water activity tested. In addition, concentrates produced using materials that have failed required yeast and mold testing and decontaminated flower batches must undergo water activity testing.
R&D Testing Services
Each of our labs also offers a terpene report providing a unique terpene fingerprint, which can be used to compare the profiles of different products. Co-branding opportunities are available to terpene reports.
Additionally, our labs offer exemplary shelf stability testing for cannabis growers and retailers in Denver and Pueblo, making it simple to achieve compliance and ensure product quality. Whether you are seeking testing for MED/Health Department compliance or research and development purposes, our cannabis testing options will deliver the precise results you need to move forward.
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.
