Potency Testing
Accurately measure the concentration of alkaloids in your infused beverages. Our rigorous potency testing ensures your drinks deliver the intended effects, maintaining brand integrity and consumer trust.

Purity & Compliance Testing
Ensure your beverages meet all regulatory requirements before they hit the market. Or go beyond compliance and conduct purity testing for your consumers’ peace of mind. Safety and regulatory tests screen beverages for active ingredients, contaminants, and residual solvents. 

Stability Testing
Our laboratory helps you navigate the challenges of emulsion and nano-formulation technologies used in infused beverages. We conduct specialized tests to assess the stability of cannabinoids and other alkaloids in your products, ensuring they remain effective and consistent over time.

Terpene Analysis
Terpenes not only influence the flavor and aroma of your beverages but also affect the overall therapeutic experience. We offer advanced testing to identify and quantify terpene profiles, ensuring product consistency and batch-to-batch reliability.

Flavonoid Analysis
Flavonoids enrich your beverages' color, taste, and overall health benefits. We conduct advanced testing to quantify flavonoid profiles in hemp and cannabis beverages.
