ABKO Labs

ABKO Labs, LLC is a state licensed Safety Compliance Facility offering state compliant medical marijuana testing.

We need 0.5% of final dried and cured harvest batch to perform testing services.

Cannabinoid potency data quantifies levels of plant cannabinoids present in cannabis products.

At ABKO Labs, we check for THCA, Δ9-THCA, CBDA, CBD, CBG and CBN .

Pesticides are commonly used to protect plants against weeds, fungi, insects or small animals. Pesticides can also damage people’s health.

At ABKO Labs, our testing screens for 59 chemicals.

Heavy metals are contaminants that originate from both the manufacturing process and soil contamination in agricultural production. Most consumer products intended for human use, and sold in regulated markets, are required to undergo heavy metals analysis.

At ABKO Labs, we test for Lead, mercury, arsenic, chromium and cadmium.

Measuring the water activity in a cannabis product is an excellent way to test how susceptible the product is to microbial contamination.

Less than Aw 0.65 for flower and 0.85 for infused products

Foreign materials in cannabis pose a serious health hazard to patients who are using plant products to treat their medical conditions. A simple physical examination under a high-powered microscope helps ensure the cannabis will not exacerbate conditions or pose new health risks.

Less than 5% stems or 2% of other matter

Microbial screening safeguards consumer health.

At ABKO Labs we test for Total Yeast and Mold, coliform, shiggatoxin producing E.coli (STEC), and aspergillus.

Residual solvents are organic volatile chemicals that are used in the manufacturing or extraction process. In cannabis, they are used to extract cannabinoids or terpenes from the plant material. These solvents are often not completely removed by practical manufacturing or extraction processes. Therefore, testing for these chemicals is required in many industries, including cannabis.

27 different solvents

This instrument allows ABKO Labs to test the potency of the products that come to us through the proven High Throughput Method. This allows us to get your results more quickly. The Cannabis Analyzer provides highly accurate and timely results.

This instrument is the first in the industry to include functions for assistance with analytic method development and diagnostics, while running on an environmentally-friendly mini-torch plasma unit. The newly developed collision cell provides high sensitivity and low interference.

The secret to the 4TE’s speed and accuracy is in its unique chilled mirror dew point sensor. The dew point sensor is a primary measure of water activity. Unlike other water activity sensors, the dew point sensor actually measures water activity (Aw), not some secondary parameter merely correlated with water activity (Aw). This makes the 4TE extremely accurate, so you can have complete confidence in your sample readings.

The CFX96 Touch Deep Well Real-Time PCR Detection System offers precise quantification and target discrimination for up to 5 targets in large-volume reactions. The system incorporates industry-leading technology and stand-alone functionality to provide a robust and easy-to-use qPCR instrument for reliable results.

This is the premier Chromatograph from Shimadzu. This instrument has had modern updates to include an intuitive touch screen interface, as well as easily-changeable chambers with ClickTek connector. The Nexis GC-2030 Gas Chromatograph makes separating and analyzing compounds even easier.

The Shimadzu GCMS-QP2010SE gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer offers reliable productivity and measures trace amounts of compounds.

This instrument offers excellent sensitivity and throughput with its ultra-low detection limits.
