Remarks

With the legalisation of medicinal and recreational cannabis increasing rapidly across the globe, cannabis and hemp are featuring in an ever-wider range of products. Laboratory analysis of these products aims to ensure, amongst other objectives, that the products comply with psychoactive substance regulations, and that chemical or microbiological contaminants are absent. LGC AXIO's CANNABIS scheme offers chemistry samples for testing cannabinoids, terpenes, mycotoxins, elements (including heavy metals) and a wide range of pesticides. This leading cannabis proficiency testing programme also offer samples for analysing the potency of hemp and cannabis oils, terpenes in hemp oil, plus two unique products for assessing terpene content and active ingredients in cannabis flowers.
