Hemp Testing Menu

SC Labs can test hemp biomass, concentrates, e-liquids/vape oils, crystallized isolates, as well as liquid and solid infused products such as coconut oils, tinctures, and edibles. Don’t forget about your ingredients! We test beeswax, chocolate, food additives, terpenes, environmental inputs like soil, and more.

Be sure to contact us, if you’re a hemp producer looking to sell your products in cannabis dispensaries. There are certain restrictions you’ll want to know before testing. Looking for cannabis testing? Check out our Cannabis Testing Menu instead.

Quality Assurance Test Packages

While THC concentrations of industrial hemp may have been analyzed at pre-harvest, additional safety and potency testing may be warranted for consumer-ready items. For some states, additional contaminant and safety tests are now required prior to processing and prior to reaching retail shelves.

We offer one of the nation’s most complete test packages for hemp/CBD quality assurance. Bundled panel options were developed to target a comprehensive list of contaminants, address state compliance rules, and meet guidelines established by the USP, AHPA, AHP, AOAC, DCC⁶, or ORELAP.
