LC-MS/MS State certified
Pesticide Residue
We run pesticide residue on triple-quadrupole liquid chromatography mass spectrometers. The method is validated for all plant material and concentrate samples, and we are state certified for every regulated pesticide.
In 2017, more than 100,000 units of Colorado regulated product, including edibles, live resins, waxes and vape cartridges, were voluntarily recalled after residues of banned pesticides were found. The state Department of Agriculture found trace amounts of imidacloprid, myclobutanil, etoxazole and spiromesifen.
Unlike other labs we require only 1.5 grams, so you will likely never need to send more than the state minimum.
