Cannabis Terpene Testing

Terpenes are the aromatic and flavor compounds found in cannabis and other plants & flowers. They are an important component of the entourage effect and a growing number of companies and consumers are understanding the importance of terpene profiles and ratios in cannabis product use. We offer terpene analysis for cannabis flower, extracts and concentrates.

 

Our methods use liquid extraction and injection into an Agilent 6890 Gas Chromatograph-FID.
