Ensure the quality and safety of your samples by measuring the presence via ICP-MS of several heavy metals that can be harmful for human consumption in flower or other cannabis products. The following metals will be analyzed:
Since Canada has the most restrictive list in the world with regards to pesticides, conforming to the standards can be complicated. Rest assured, PhytoChemia offers you complete coverage in compliance with the list published by Health Canada. We determine pesticide and mycotoxins levels via GC-MS/MS and LC-MS/MS. The full list and the detection limits are available upon request.
