Moisture content is the quantity of water contained in material. Increased water in the product raises its susceptibility to microbes, which can rot or damage the sample. This information can be helpful when estimating shelf life suitability to new products. If there is too much water in a product, there is a risk of microbial growth and water migration.

Our Testing Process
Once your sample is received, it will be scanned into our laboratory information management system(LIMS) and updated in Metrc. Your sample will be labeled and safely stored in our secure temperature controlled locker until scheduled testing begins.
The sample is weighed out and added to a device that captures weight as the product dries.
By measuring the sample as it dries we are able to formulate the water loss (% moisture content).
Upon test completion, your results will be verified by one of our qualified team members. Your certificate of analysis(COA) will be promptly updated and emailed to you, while the batch is updated in Metrc.
What We Test For
Moisture content must be < 15% of total weight.
