Why Potency Testing Is Required for Hemp Products

Federal hemp compliance requires THC ≤0.3% on a dry-weight basis, and many states have additional cannabinoid labeling requirements.

⚖️

Federal Compliance

Hemp products must contain ≤0.3% total THC (delta-9 + THCA × 0.877) to comply with the 2018 Farm Bill.

🏷️

Label Accuracy

CBD and cannabinoid label claims must be substantiated by third-party testing for regulatory and retailer compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is total THC calculated?

Total THC = Δ9-THC + (THCA × 0.877). This formula accounts for the decarboxylation conversion factor and is the standard used for federal hemp compliance.

Do you test for delta-8 THC?

Yes. Our panel includes Δ8-THC as a distinct analyte alongside Δ9-THC.

What sample amount is needed for potency testing?

Typically 1–3 grams of flower (ground), 0.1–0.5 g of extract, or 5–10 units of finished product.
