Good analysis starts with a precise question.
Cannabinoids, terpenes and contaminant testing: which examination answers which question? Explore the proposed analytical categories.
Separate composition from residues
A cannabinoid profile describes selected constituents. Residues or microbiological contamination require separate examinations. An unremarkable cannabinoid result says nothing about contaminants that were not tested.

Categories to clarify include terpene profiles, pesticide residues, heavy metals, microbiological contamination, mycotoxins, residual solvents, moisture content and water activity. Other product-specific parameters may also be relevant. This list is not a confirmed service catalogue.
The product matrix and method must fit
Flower, oils, extracts and processed products place different demands on preparation and measurement. Availability depends on the selected laboratory, product type, method and agreed panel.
Agree the scope before testing
Define target analytes, units, required quantification limits and intended use before any possible commission. Prices, turnaround times and available services have not been confirmed.
