Lab Services
Aurora Analytical Labs provides a wide range of analytical services, including comprehensive compliance testing for cannabis and hemp, as well as specialized analyses for terpenes, heavy metals, and residual solvents. Our state-of-the-art laboratory is dedicated to delivering accurate and reliable results to support your product's quality and safety.
Full Compliance, Regulatory Testing
Regulatory compliance testing are those tests mandated by the State of Michigan before a product can be sold at a retail location.
Infused Beverages
Manufacturers of infused beverages must rely on accredited laboratories who use advanced technologies and state-of-the-art instrumentation to assure safe for consumption.
Hemp Analysis
The process of decarboxylation usually involves exposing the cannabinoids to heat or light, which inherently changes the chemical structure of them.
Chemical Residue | Pesticides Analysis
Understanding what is being ingested, whether the product is inhaled or consumed, is paramount in maintaining a safe and effective product.
Cannabinoids | Potency Analysis
Cannabinoids are chemical compounds found in cannabis that affect the user by interacting with specific receptors in the central nervous system.
Cannabis Foreign Matter Inspections
Stereoscopic inspection of raw cannabis will confirm the presence of mold, excess stalks, insects, metal fragments, or other debris.
Cannabis Homogeneity Analysis
Homogeneity testing determines if the cannabinoid potency of the infused edible products is evenly distributed throughout the product.
Cannabis Heavy Metals Analysis
Heavy metals may be safe and even beneficial to humans in permissible doses, but present a serious health risk at elevated levels.
Microbial-Mycotoxin Analysis
Large green plants provide a welcoming ecosystem for a number of biological organisms, including several types of molds.
Moisture Content Analysis
Moisture content is crucial as an indicator of the potential activity of microbiological contaminants such as bacteria and fungi.
Residual Solvents Analysis
Some residual solvents may remain in the final product based on the methodology used to extract the cannabis products from the plant.
Terpene Analysis
Different combinations of terpenes yield different tastes and aromas, which can assist consumers with choosing products suited to their specific needs and preferences.
Cannabis Water Activity Analysis
By measuring the water activity in a cannabis product, it provides an excellent way to analyze how susceptible the product is to microbial contamination.
Vitamin E Acetate Testing
Vitamin E acetate is an oily chemical commonly added to THC vaping liquids to dilute or thicken them; the substance has been acknowledged as a potential toxin of concern by the CDC.
Other Services
Environmental Measurement Services
Any data collection activity or investigation involving the assessment of chemical, physical, or biological factors in the environment which affect human health or the quality of life.
Pathogens Analysis
Pathogens analysis involves testing cannabis and hemp plants to detect and identify specific pathogens that can negatively affect their health and growth.
Plant Gender Screening
With DNA-based testing, it is possible to identify male cannabis plants weeks before they show any visual sex features.
MCT Oil
Medium chain triglyceride oil is sometimes used as a constituent of vape cartridge liquids. Inhalation of MCT oils can be harmful to the user by causing damage to the lungs.
