Or have a specific issue with your product? TX Pharm Labs has you covered.
Cannabis is medicine. Medicine needs to be precise. Precise labeling leads to customer trust and loyalty, and patients medicating with cannabinoids need accurate cannabinoid concentration information levels in order to effectively treat their illnesses and safely consume recreational products.
TX Pharm Labs uses High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) that goes beyond testing normal potency levels by providing detailed cannabinoid profiling across fourteen other components including CBD, CBL, THC isomers, and CBN. All potency tests are validated by the company’s cannabis certification program that exceeds AOAC, WHO, and all State-testing requirements.

Terpenes are aroma and taste molecules that produce the characteristic smells and flavors of flowers, herbs, and spices.
These isoprenoid molecules are also the essential medicinal biosynthetic building blocks for various phytochemicals including THCA, which can influence the overall THC homeopathic effect.
TX Pharm Labs uses gas chromatography (GC) to identify and quantify 28 distinct terpene analytes providing consumers with information to distinguish and choose products that taste and smell best to them.

Pesticides are inherently dangerous molecules. That’s why they are used, to kill microorganisms and other plant pests. The downside of this use, however, is carryover onto final products. Pesticides commonly used in cannabis cultivation are potentially dangerous and pose great health risks – the greatest danger occurring with chronic exposure to pesticide residue which is toxic at high levels and harmful at lower doses. Potentially harmful chemicals include: insecticides, fungicides, plant growth regulators, and other compounds.
TX Pharm Labs uses liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) for full quantitation of 67 different analytes, ensuring our procedures detect ultra-low amounts of pesticides keeping users safe and healthy.

Measuring heavy metal contamination is important for all flower, water, food, and solvent-based products. Many states have set conservative limits per gram of product for lead, arsenic, cadmium, and mercury as these compounds are very toxic to humans.
TX Pharm Labs tests for heavy metal contamination using Inductively Coupled Plasma spectrometry with mass spectrometric detection (ICP-MS). Our approach enables very sensitive analysis for metals at low concentrations in the parts per billion ensuring your products are safe to consume.

To produce highly-concentrated oils and waxes, solvents such as acetone, ethanol and butane are used to extract cannabinoids and terpenes from marijuana and hemp plant material. These harmful solvents must then be removed from final products to ensure they do not pose serious health risks when inhaled or ingested.
TX Pharm Labs uses Gas Chromatography with Mass Spectrometry detection and headspace autosampling to quantify harmful solvents, impurities, or adulterants down to sub parts-per-million (PPM) concentrations.

Microorganisms and bacteria are ubiquitous in our world. They often can grow under the same conditions as cannabis and if consumed, these contaminants could lead to serious illness.
TX Pharm Labs testing process uses qPCR and confirmatory plating to test for bacteria and fungi.
This is accomplished by extracting community DNA samples and running the purified DNA against known DNA sequences (primers) to identify specific bacterial and fungal species.
TX Pharm Labs also uses plating to screen for levels of total yeasts and molds, total coliforms, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella enterica, total aerobic bacteria, and bile-tolerant gram-negative (BTGN) (including Enterobacteriaceae).

TX Pharm Labs is a leading provider of stability testing services and accelerated stability studies for Cannabis products.
Understanding the stability of a product or material against the effects of time, temperature and/or humidity is an important part of product development. While this is vital to the pharmaceutical industry, it is of equal importance to the consumer product, food, and beverage industries. TX Pharm Labs has the testing facilities to safely conduct the desired stability or shelf-life study, as well as the corresponding analytical testing to evaluate the effects of the storage conditions.
We perform stability studies and accelerated stability testing on many different products and materials, and under varied storage conditions. Whether you require long term stability storage conditions or accelerated storage conditions, TX Pharm Labs has experience in performing stability testing for cannabis products under cGMP and GLP requirements and guidelines. We can develop methods for testing stability samples, or follow prescribed testing procedures such as US Pharmacopeia and EPA OPPTS requirements. TX Pharm Labs has many different capabilities for storage stability testing. Whether it is a simple titration, corrosion evaluation, and pH determination to evaluate changes in an active ingredient over time; or more complex testing requiring HPLC, GCMS, LCMS, qPCR and ICPMS to determine the presence of impurities or leachable components, we can meet your testing needs.
Shelf life is defined as the time necessary for CBD to degrade to 90% of its original concentration. Hemp products will remain stable when stored under recommended storage conditions. Thus, an expiration date is the date beyond which it is predicted that the product may no longer retain fitness for use.
