Cannabis testing has always been developed to test for the percentage of cannabinoids in the plant material, this method was more than adequate to define the percentage of material that composed of the cannabinoid content.

So why does this not work for CBD products like oils, capsules and the many new products that are coming to market?

Analysis of cannabinoids by percentage does not provide you with a precise result for the mg content of a product. Many consider a 10ml bottle with 5% CBD oil to contain 500mg of CBD per ml. As its assumed that 1millilitre is equal to 1 gram or 1g/cm3

However, as the volumetric mass density of oil is approximately 0.93g/cm3, a 10ml bottle containing 5% CBD would actually only contain 465mg of CBD.

Our testing method quantify the exact volumetric density of a product and provide an exact level of CBD on the certificate of analysis, unlike any other testing service available.

This testing method was designs for final products, not raw material and provides business and consumers with the clearest provenance of a products potency and legitimacy to date.

It’s essential to ensure products contain what they are advertised to contain. If you make a claim about the mg of content of your product, you must be able to prove what you claim. If you do not comply with these legal regulations, you could be prosecuted and fined.
