HEAVY METALS

Heavy metal contamination can come from contaminated soil, fertilizers, or metals leached from the components in e-cigarettes or vaping pens. Using Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP/MS), we can analyze your CBD, hemp, and other plant-based products for toxic heavy metals including lead, arsenic, cadmium, and mercury.

Heavy metals are analyzed by Agilent ICP-MS.

MICROBIAL IMPURITIES

Badger Labs can test for total microbial counts of E. coli, Yeast and Mold, Aerobic Plate Count, Total Enterobacteria, and Salmonella in flowers and CBD products.

Microbial impurities are analyzed by plate count.

MOISTURE

In addition to its impact on the sample weight, the stability of cannabis, and its susceptibility to negative factors such as mold growth, is affected by the moisture content of the sample. Badger Labs can test the moisture content of your sample to ensure you’re getting the most accurate analysis.
