Flower: QA/QC Testing

Hemp growers benefit tremendously from testing. Whether meeting state requirements or certifying a product,
laboratory testing reduces your risk and ensures delivery of a quality product. And, as medicinal and recreational
hemp markets continue to grow, analytical testing will ensure that consumers are receiving accurately labeled
products that are free from contamination.

Shimadzu is ready to assist you as you grow your laboratory, providing platforms for the following analyses:

► Potency Testing ► Heavy Metals
► Terpene Profiling ► Moisture Content
► Pesticide Analysis ► Particle Size Testing
► Mycotoxins Analysis ► Research
► Residual Solvents

Potency testing is the starting point for most labs as the Hemp Farming Act of
2018 removes the plant Cannabis Sativa L. from the controlled substances act if it
contains no more than 0.3% THC on a dry weight basis. Therefore, it is important
to accurately distinguish hemp from cannabis using a quantitative analysis of the
material. Shimadzu offers numerous options to test potency, including the HPLC-
based Hemp Analyzer. A comprehensive package integrating instrument hardware,
software, consumables, and analytical workflow, the Hemp Analyzer is ready to use
after one day of installation and testing, and requires no time-consuming method
development on the part of the analyst.
