Standard turnaround is 5–7 business days, depending on test type. Expedited service is available upon request (as fast as 48 hours for select analyses).

Do I need a Health Canada license to submit samples?

No. We work with licensed producers, micro-cultivators, extractors, product developers, and individuals (e.g., researchers or growers seeking R&D insight). No license or minimum volume is required.

How do I submit a sample?

Visit our Sample Submission page to download a submission form. Label your sample clearly and include documentation. We recommend leak-proof packaging and a reliable courier with tracking. Refrigeration is suggested for perishables.

Can I access historical test results?

Yes. Clients have secure access to their testing history through our encrypted Client Portal. PDF and CSV reports are available on-demand.

Do you test for synthetic cannabinoids or contaminants?

Yes. We can test for select synthetic cannabinoids and non-declared adulterants upon request. Contact our team to customize your screening panel.
