Maine requires verification of absence of pesticides, insecticides, fungicides, herbicides, acaricides, plant growth regulators, and disinfectants, etc. in cannabis products. This list includes bifenthrin, cyfluthrin, daminozide, etoxazole, imazalil, myclobutanil,spiromesifen, trifloxystrobin, and any others reported by the cultivation facility licensee in its operating plan. Traditionally requiring multiple methods and sample preps, Indicative Testing’s pesticide screening instrumentation combines Liquid Chromatography and tandem Mass Spectrometry technologies to provide reliable and reproducible results. This method allows identification and quantification of all pesticides at levels well below action limits (0.005 to 0.25 μg/g), and the ability to screen and quantitate the hydrophobic and chlorinated compounds normally analyzed on a GC/MS.
Pesticide Testing
Overview
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.
Our automated homogenization and sample prep process greatly reduces test variability and human error not only through precision robotic movements, but by tracking your sample through our sophisticated software while uploading results in real time.
Indicative Testing uses Ultra High-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) for pesticide analysis.
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.
