Heavy Metals Testing

HEAVY METALS TESTING

Heavy metals can be found in soil, water supply, and in many nutrients used by industry participants. Cannabis is prone to absorbing heavy metals and can cause metals to bioaccumulate in the plant structure. Highgrade Labs heavy metals screening helps to ensure metal presence is below limits considered for safe consumption.
What instrument do we use?

Heavy metals testing is performed on a 7800 ICP-MS from Agilent.

All samples are prepared and extracted using acid-assisted microwave digestion, on a Milestone Ethos Up, to dissolve the sample before being placed on the ICP-MS.

What products can we test?

In addition to Flower, Concentrates and Infused Products, we also help industry professionals test their nutrients and soils to find the source of any contamination
