STANDARD PESTICIDE SCREENING
VS.
PREMIUM PESTICIDE SCREENING
PharmLabs has been hard at work creating a new panel of pesticides that we can now offer our clients at unbelievable prices! The Standard Pesticide Screening detects for 30 of the most commonly used pesticides in the cannabis industry.
PharmLabs also offers the Premium Pesticide Screening that tests for nearly 200 compounds of interest starting at $175 a test.
Our method for determining Pesticide concentration by LC/MS is completely quantitative and involves an extensive sample prep procedure to ensure high sensitivity. All samples are run with accompanying standard curves containing known concentrations of pesticide standards as well quality control samples to ensure high accuracy and precision. The process begins by drying and pulverizing the plant material into a homogenous powder to ensure all parts of the flower are represented in the analysis. The material is then extracted in a special solvent that solubilizes pesticides, and these compounds are then further separated from interfering compounds using additional purification steps. We have developed our sample prep process independently in our lab and we do not use any commercially available system to extract pesticide from the flower.
Once the sample prep is complete, the sample is analyzed on a Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer (Waters MicroMass Quattro Premier) which is coupled to an HPLC (Agilent 1100). Our quantitation range spans nearly 3 orders of magnitude, ranging from the low parts per billion up to 1 ppm for most of the compounds, Calibration curves and quality control analysis ensure linearity in quantitation, and this analysis is included in the report.
