The Role of Quality Control in Cannabis Testing
January 2023
As the cannabis industry continues to grow and evolve, the importance of quality control in cannabis testing has become increasingly clear. Quality control is essential for ensuring the accuracy and reliability of testing results, and for supporting the integrity and reputation of the industry as a whole.
One of the key elements of quality control in cannabis testing is the development and validation of analytical methods. In order to accurately and reliably test cannabis products, laboratories must develop and validate analytical methods that are fit-for-purpose and can provide accurate and reproducible results. This requires the use of advanced analytical techniques, such as high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), to develop and validate methods that are specific, sensitive, and reproducible.
Another important aspect of quality control in cannabis testing is the implementation of robust quality assurance systems. This involves the use of procedures, processes, and controls to ensure the consistency and accuracy of testing results, and to minimize the risk of errors or inconsistencies. This can include activities such as calibration and standardization of equipment, training and certification of personnel, and documentation and record-keeping.
