At PureLabs in Oklahoma, we are committed to providing accurate and reliable cannabis residual solvent testing services. As the cannabis industry continues to grow, there is an increased focus on quality and safety in products. This includes testing for residual solvents, which can be harmful if present in high concentrations.
Why is Residual Solvent Testing Important?
During the extraction process of cannabis, solvents such as butane and propane are often used to extract the desired compounds from the plant material. While these solvents can be effective, they also have the potential to leave behind harmful residues if not properly removed.
These residual solvents can be dangerous for consumers, especially those who use medical cannabis for medicinal purposes. Inhaling or ingesting high levels of these solvents can lead to health issues including respiratory irritation, headaches, and even organ damage.
Residual solvent testing is crucial in ensuring the safety of cannabis products for consumers. By identifying and quantifying any remaining solvents, producers can take the necessary steps to remove them and ensure their products are safe for consumption.
Oklahoma’s Regulations on Residual Solvent Testing
In 2019, Oklahoma implemented regulations requiring all cannabis products to undergo residual solvent testing. The state has set maximum allowable limits for specific solvents, such as butane and propane, to ensure product safety.
At PureLabs, we follow these regulations closely and use state-of-the-art equipment to accurately test for residual solvents in cannabis products. Our experienced and trained staff are dedicated to providing reliable results that comply with Oklahoma’s regulations.
Our Residual Solvent Testing Methods
At PureLabs, we use gas chromatography (GC) and mass spectrometry (MS) to analyze cannabis products for residual solvents.
GC separates the different components of a sample, while MS identifies and measures these components. This combination allows us to accurately detect and quantify even trace amounts of residual solvents in cannabis products.
We also conduct our testing in a controlled laboratory environment to ensure the integrity and accuracy of our results. Our methods are constantly validated and improved upon to provide the most reliable and precise testing services for our clients.
