Labs and Testing
MCOA
is dedicated to providing Cannabis and Hemp products that meet or exceed the
standards set by the various states. Our primary goal is product quality and purity for all club members. By testing all our products it allows us to be in compliance with all state and local laws and meet our high standard quality goals. We will partner with testing labs
that will provide the following testing results for all of our products:
POTENCY TESTING
POTENCY TESTING
Potency
testing informs patients about the concentration of active cannabinoid
compounds. Cannabinoid profiling allows our members to determine accurate
dosage. MCOA will require our partner testing labs to provide full cannabinoid
profiling.
TERPENE ANALSYS
Terpenes
are the aromatic compounds that endow cannabis with its unique scent. Terpene
analysis is crucial for differentiating between strains of cannabis, as
terpenes have a major influence on the medical and psychological effects of a plant.
The relationship between cannabinoids and terpenoids, known as the “entourage
effect,” ultimately distinguishes one strain of medical cannabis from another.
Understanding terpenes is essential to help identify the right strain for our
members.
MICROBIOLOGICAL SCREENING
MICROBIOLOGICAL SCREENING
The
same conditions that are ideal for the cultivation of cannabis can also be
ideal for the germination of microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi
(yeast & mold). Thru our partner labs, MCOA will offer a full range of
reliable microbial testing using 3M Petrifilm and Real-Time Polymerase
Chain-Reaction (qPCR) technology.
PESTICIDE TESTING
Pesticide
tests can detect trace amounts of chemical pesticides in dried flowers and
cannabis concentrates. Our pesticide screening is rooted in a strong conviction
that patients deserve contaminant-free products.
