Quality assurance is an integral part of any profitable business, and the hemp and botanical industry is no different. When it comes to safe, quality products, analytical testing of materials and products is critical to ensure that laws and regulations are abided by, and customers are using a certifiably safe product. For this reason, it is important for any reputable extraction company to take part in rigorous testing in a variety of methods.
High performance liquid chromatography or HPLC testing and third-party testing are effective ways to test materials and products for chemical residuals, molds, solvents or other contaminants and is also a way to certify a legal product by measuring delta-9 content in CBD products. Without these methods of analytical testing, it would be impossible to ensure safe and legal products from hemp and botanical extracts.
In this episode of exrakTALKS, Dr. Jon and Randall Thompson explain all about analytical testing in the hemp and botanical industry. They discuss in detail why you should test for contaminants, where you should be testing, and how you should be testing. They discuss the ins and outs of HPLC testing, the use of third-party tests to look for unknown contaminants, and how not testing can affect your business.
