AgriScience Labs is a cannabis analytical testing laboratory in Colorado. Founded in 2011, the company is based in Denver, Colorado.[1][2][3][4][5] Specifically, they test cannabis and hemp products before they go to market, including plants, topicals, edibles, and concentrates.[6]
History[edit]
AgriScience Labs was founded in 2011, making it the oldest licensed cannabis testing lab in the state of Colorado.[7][8] They are also members of the National Cannabis Industry Association.[9]
The laboratory became ISO/IEC 17025 certified by Perry Johnson in 2019, and they participate in Emerald Scientific Proficiency Testing.[10][11]
Research[edit]
Four of their scientists contributed to a paper titled Automated image analysis with ImageJ of yeast colony forming units from cannabis flowers, which was published in the Journal of Microbiological Methods.[12]
Kimberly Ross, PhD represented AgriScience Labs was the key speaker for a Terpenes and Testing Magazine webinar.[13]
Services[edit]
AgriScience Labs conducts potency for 13 cannabinoids testing on a high-performance liquid chromatography instrument, with cannabis typically testing "in the twenty-something range" for THCA.[2][6][14] In addition, they provide residual solvent analysis, microbial screening, terpene profiling, and pesticide screening, most of which are completed within two days.[15][2][15][6]
For pesticide analysis, a two-stage testing process is used. In the first stage, upon receipt of the sample, the lab performs an initial screen, which alerts them if there are contaminants present that could cause a fail. The second stage is confirmation analysis.[15] They use certified pesticide-free cannabis as a negative control, positive controls that are "spiked with pesticides with three different levels", and calibration standards.[15]
The laboratory offers transport to pick up test samples, following the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment standard operating procedures for sample collection.[15]
