Pre-Harvest Compliance Analysis
For USDA compliance, only sampling agents approved by the USDA or state, federal or local law enforcement agents approved by the USDA can collect hemp samples for shipment to (or drop-off at) a DEA-registered laboratory. These officials will collect samples and ensure they are sent to a registered / approved lab within 30 days of planned harvest. Licensees are responsible for paying sampling fees.
Samples of plant material for compliant pre-harvest THC potency analysis arrive at our lab wet and will be dried by the lab for a small fee.
Minimum weight requirements for potency analysis are determined by sampling regulations.
A chain of custody form is required for analysis and will be provided for completion by you and the registered sampling agent. This form requires information like your license number, requested turnaround time and any other tests requested. We offer full profile analyses, which include terpene analysis, as well as two safety panels and a full panel. Payment is also required before analysis.
Turnaround times vary depending on dry or wet plant material and additional tests requested. Typically, turnaround times are between 5-7 business days for dry plant material, 5-10 for wet. Rush turnaround time is available for an additional fee.
Samples can be dropped off directly to our lab during business hours Monday through Friday. For pre-harvest compliance testing, the sampling agent must arrange transport or shipping to the lab. Our lab is located at:
6000 Commerce Pkwy Suite I
Mt Laurel Township, NJ 08054
