3. TESTING PROCEDURE

  1. Sample Preparation:

    • Homogenize entire product (for disposables/carts)

    • For concentrates: 0.5g representative sample

    • Prepare in triplicate for statistical validity

  2. Potency Testing:

    • Weigh 100mg ±5mg sample

    • Extract with methanol

    • Filter (0.2μm PTFE)

    • HPLC analysis (280nm)

  3. Terpene Analysis:

    • Weigh 200mg sample

    • Extract with hexane

    • GC-MS analysis (30m column)

  4. Contaminant Testing:

    • Follow state-approved SOPs for:

      • QuEChERS extraction (pesticides)

      • Microwave digestion (metals)

      • Microbial enrichment

4. DATA ANALYSIS

Calculations:

  • Total THC = (THCA × 0.877) + Δ9-THC

  • Total CBD = (CBDA × 0.877) + CBD

  • Terpene % = (peak area/sample weight) × calibration factor

Statistical Requirements:

  • RSD <5% for replicates

  • Calibration curves (R² >0.995)

  • Continuing Calibration Verification (CCV) every 10 samples

5. REPORTING

Certificate of Analysis (COA) Must Include:

  1. Header with lab credentials

  2. Sample identification

  3. Test methods

  4. Results with units

  5. Measurement uncertainty

  6. Pass/fail status

  7. Authorized signatory

Example Result Format:

Parameter Result Units Limit Status
Total THC 85.3% w/w ±10% PASS
Myrcene 0.38% w/w – –
Pesticides ND ppm <0.1 PASS

6. QUALITY CONTROL

Reference Materials:

  • NIST-traceable cannabinoid standards

  • Certified terpene mix

  • Matrix spikes for recovery (70-130%)

Equipment Checks:

  • Daily balance calibration

  • Weekly HPLC column performance test

  • Monthly GC-MS tune verification

Blanks:

  • Method blank with each batch

  • Solvent blank every 20 injections

7. COMPLIANCE STATEMENT

“All testing performed in accordance with [State] Cannabis Regulations (Reference: [Code Section]). This laboratory is accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2017 for cannabis testing.”
