ACS offers the most sensitive and comprehensive pesticide screening and confirmation available utilizing Ultra High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC)-Tandem Mass Spectrometry (MS/MS). Offering excellent sensitivity and throughput, the ultra-low detection limits provided by ACS’s proprietary methodology make this technique ideal for the analysis of pesticides commonly employed during cannabis cultivation." to lower on the page after Viruses before Pestices.

Viruses

Systemic plant infections like Hop Latent Viroid, Lettuce Chlorosis Virus, and Cannabis Cryptic Virus are highly damaging and more common than most people think. Infected plants often look yellow in color, wrinkled, stunted, and brittle, losing 50 to 70% of THC content. To ensure a healthy yield, cultivators must take active prevention measures and test all mothers and crops to ensure a healthy yield.

Pesticides

Pesticides are any substances that can prevent, destroy, or repel insects, rodents, fungi, weeds, or other forms of plant or animal life or viruses. A pesticide may also be any substance used to regulate plant growth, such as a leaf-removing or drying agent. Farmers commonly use pesticides to prevent pests from destroying crops, and the practice is completely compliant. However, 69.5% of pesticide residues can remain in smoked marijuana, presenting health risks ranging from neurotoxicity to cancer and liver disease.

ACS offers the most sensitive and comprehensive pesticide screening and confirmation available utilizing Ultra High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC)-Tandem Mass Spectrometry (MS/MS). Offering excellent sensitivity and throughput, the ultra-low detection limits provided by ACS’s proprietary methodology make this technique ideal for the analysis of pesticides commonly employed during cannabis cultivation.

Specialized Pesticide Screening

Glyphosate, paraquat, and diquat are herbicides that chemically kill weeds and regulate plant growth. While legal and practical, herbicides can infiltrate plants and harm human health when ingested or inhaled at high levels. The only way to be sure that cannabis plants and products are safe is by screening for these contaminants.

Microbiology

Mold, mildew, E.coli, Aerobic Bacteria, and  Enterobacteriaceae are common microbiological contaminants that can destroy entire harvests and pose serious health risks to consumers. ACS Laboratory screens hemp and cannabis plants for common microorganisms so growers can feel confident about their crops.

Mycotoxins

Mycotoxins are toxic secondary metabolites produced by mold and fungi, particularly in warm and humid environments. Mold can infect cannabis flower and crops that become edibles and cannabis products, presenting safety and quality issues. Pre-harvest mycotoxin testing is the way to ensure products are compliant and safe to consume.

Plant Growth Regulators

Plant growth regulators are common agrochemicals that farmers apply to plants to control growth, promote fertility, control flowering time and amplify bud size. While legal to use, regulators can be dangerous to ingest in large amounts. Testing plants pre-harvest is the best way to ensure safe and compliant crops.

Micronutrients

Pesticides are any substances that can prevent, destroy, or repel insects, rodents, fungi, weeds, or other forms of plant or animal life or viruses. A pesticide may also be any substance used to regulate plant growth, such as a leaf-removing or drying agent. Farmers commonly use pesticides to prevent pests from destroying crops, and the practice is completely compliant. However, 69.5% of pesticide residues can remain in smoked marijuana, presenting health risks ranging from neurotoxicity to cancer and liver disease.
