ACS Laboratory Named a Colorado State Certified Hemp Testing Laboratory

‍ACS Laboratory is the Only Colorado State Certified Hemp Testing Laboratory Specialized for the Entire Scope of Testing Including Cannabinoids, Heavy Metals, Mycotoxins, Microbiology, Residual Solvents, Moisture Content and Pesticides

‍BOCA RATON, FLA. ― (Dec 13, 2021) ― ACS Laboratory, the largest state-of-the-art testing facility for cannabis and hemp testing in the eastern half of the U.S., is proud to announce that it has been approved as a Colorado State Certified Hemp Testing Laboratory. Per the CDPHE website, ACS Laboratory is the ONLY facility to date certified for the entire scope of testing. This includes THC and other cannabinoids; heavy metals; mycotoxins; microbiology; residual solvents; moisture content and the full new pesticide panel of 102 pesticides.

Once its Industrial Hemp Pesticide Testing regulations take effect, Colorado will have the strictest regulations on pesticides of any state in the U.S. Reflecting its commitment to quality testing to ensure consumer safety, ACS Laboratory tests hemp and cannabis plants, flowers, extracts, and edibles for paraquat, diquat, and glyphosate, along with 102 other pesticides that are all on CDPHE’s list of required pesticide tests.

ACS Laboratory offers the most sensitive and comprehensive pesticide screening and confirmation available using the liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry LC/MS/MS method. This method is ideal for the accurate analysis of pesticides commonly used during cannabis cultivation.

“Pesticides used in cannabis cultivation can cause serious health issues, and we want to ensure that plants or products are compliant and safe for all who use them," said Roger Brown, President, and founder of ACS Laboratory. "We are very pleased to be named a Colorado State Certified Hemp Testing Lab and are fully prepared for the CDPHE’s Industrial Hemp Pesticide Testing regulations.”
