WHat we test for
Green Hills Labs offers comprehensive testing services to ensure the safety and quality of cannabis products. From potency and terpenes to heavy metals and microbial screenings, we provide rigorous analysis to meet state guidelines and promote the well-being of consumers products.
Potency
Cannabinoids interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system, which regulates physiological processes such as appetite, pain-sensation, mood, and memory. Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the compound that is responsible for the psychoactive effects of cannabis. Cannabidiol (CBD) does not have any psychoactive effects buy may have therapeutic benefits. Currently we test for ten cannabinoids including
Δ-9THC, THCA, CBD, CBDV, CBN, CBDA,
Δ-8THC, THCVA, CBGA, THCV.
Mycotoxins
Testing for mycotoxins is important because consuming or inhaling cannabis products contaminated with mycotoxins can lead to serious health problems. Currently, we test for mycotoxins that are required by the state of Missouri.
Heavy Metals
Testing for heavy metals in cannabis is important because heavy metals can be present in the soil, water, and air, and they can accumulate in the plant tissue. Heavy metals such as lead, mercury, and cadmium can be toxic and have been linked to a wide range of health problem. Currently we test for lead, arsenic, mercury, cadmium, and chromium.
Moisture and Water Activity
High water activity and moisture can lead to mold and other bacterial growth. Therefore, we test cannabis for both and follow the state guidelines.
Terpenes
Terpenes are a class of organic compounds that are found in many plants, including cannabis. They are responsible for the unique aromas and flavors of different cannabis strains. Terpenes also have potential therapeutic properties and may interact with other compounds in the plant, such as cannabinoids, to enhance their effects.
Microbial
Testing for microbials is important to ensure that cannabis products are safe for consumption and to protect the public from potential health risks associated with consuming contaminated cannabis. Currently, we test for all microbials that are required by the state of Missouri.
Pesticides
Pesticide screening for cannabis helps ensure that the cannabis products are free of harmful chemicals. Currently, we test for all pesticides required by Missouri.
Foreign Matter
Currently we test cannabis for foreign matter following the state guidelines.
