Besides being responsible for flavor and fragrance, the medical benefits of terpenes are constantly emerging. Terpenes are strain dependent and can be difficult to analyze due to complicated coelutions.
Indicative Testing minimizes these challenges by utilizing headspace gas chromatography and mass spectrometry analysis (GC-MS/HS) with unsurpassed sensitivity and stability, providing distinct separation of terpenes for identification and quantification. Combining these technologies using best-in class sample prep and the world's most sensitive detector, we are able to reduce test variability currently plaguing the cannabis industry.

Terpene Profiling
Overview
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.
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.
Terpene analysis is run on a GC/MS-HS to look at 18 terpenes of varying concentrations with precision and accuracy.
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.
