The instruments every cannabis lab needs
The cannabis market is scaling fast, and so are expectations for defensible, standards-based testing. Each platform below is available new or Certified Pre-Owned.
HPLC
Liquid Chromatography
Quantifies cannabinoid potency and accurately determines levels of THC, THCA, CBD, CBDA, and CBN.
GC
Gas Chromatography
Terpene profiling and residual solvent testing, with GC-MS/MS for targeted pesticide confirmation.
MS
Mass Spectrometry
LC-MS/MS for multi-residue pesticide and mycotoxin panels, and ICP-MS for heavy metals.
CENTRIFUGE
Benchtop & Ultra Centrifuges
Separate samples quickly and accurately to maximize efficiency. Ideal for any extraction application.
What you need to measure, and how
A comprehensive cannabis panel spans six areas. Here’s what each one covers and the instruments that handle it.
Cannabinoids & terpenes
Potency, profile, and label claim verification.
Residual solvents
Confirmation that extraction artifacts meet limits.
Pesticides & mycotoxins
Ultra-trace detection at low-ppb LOQs for consumer safety.
Heavy metals
Lead, arsenic, cadmium, and mercury screening in plant material and finished goods.
Microbial contamination
Yeast and mold, pathogenic bacteria, and total aerobic counts.
Moisture & water activity
Stability and shelf-life indicators for flower and concentrates.
Compliance and data integrity, built in
Regulatory frameworks vary by jurisdiction, but auditors consistently expect the same fundamentals.
-
Method validation & system suitabilitySelectivity, linearity, accuracy, precision, LOD/LOQ, and robustness, with suitability criteria before batch release.
-
Traceable calibrationsFor flows, temperatures, wavelengths and mass axis, and detector response.
-
Data integrity controls21 CFR Part 11-supportive software, audit trails, user roles, and secure e-records.
-
Quality documentationSOPs, maintenance logs, and change control.
