In this concise video, the presenter walks viewers through each of the seven pages of a typical Certificate of Analysis (CoA) for a cannabis-derived product. Page 1 shows the product name, batch number, and a quick pass/fail overview of all tests. Page 2 confirms that the main ingredient quantity matches the label claim. Page 3 details minor components and highlights any "not detected" results. Subsequent pages cover pesticide screening, mycotoxin testing, residual solvent analysis (noting CO2 extraction), heavy metal limits (including LOQ and pass status), and microbiology testing for pathogens such as Salmonella and E. coli. Throughout, the speaker emphasizes looking for "no detect" or "pass" indicators to ensure product safety, and invites viewers to ask questions or view a prior video on locating lab reports.
Chapters
Most people see a 7-page lab report and get overwhelmed quickly, and I don't blame you. It's a lot of information, and if you don't know what you're looking for, it's hard to manage. So today, gonna do a quick 60-second overview of all of the pages in one of our lab reports. So a quick look here at page 1. So you got your product name and then your batch number, which are the two main things. So this is the number printed on the bottom of your bottle, so you know you're looking at the right one. And then this is just a quick overview of all of the different tests and pass/fail there, so you can do a quick scan on page 1. Page 2 is an overview of the key main ingredient in the product, and so, you know, things not detected, and then this number showing that the total amount from the lab test matches what's printed on the label so that you know what you're buying is what you're actually getting in the bottle. And then just a deeper dive of those same numbers, so looking at the minors, other things in the product, so again just a quick scan of totals in the bottle, um, and making sure that what's not in the bottle, specifically right here with the not detected, is very important, um, with what we're providing. Pesticide analysis, again, super important. Um, you're really looking over here at this column for the ND, which means no detect, in the past. So making sure that nothing ends up in the bottle that you don't want to be consuming. Pesticides is a couple pages, there's a lot that are scanned for. Then we got the mycotoxins, which is like spores and fungus, so again, no detect is the main thing you're looking for. Residual solvents, not an issue with our CO2 extracted products, but again, no detect, pass, that sort of thing. Uh, continuation of residual solvents. Heavy metals, this is a big one, definitely want to be seeing the no detect or the less than LOQ, limit of quantification and a pass there. You don't want to be getting any arsenic, cadmium, lead, or mercury in your products. Microbiology, uh, Salmonella, E. coli, that sort of thing, to make sure that there is no contamination in the products. Again, no detect, pass. So that is it. That is a quick summary of the 7 pages of the lab report. If you have any questions about ours or the brand you're currently buying, just drop a comment. We'll get back to you and we can talk further about it. Hope that helped. And, uh, yesterday, if you missed yesterday's video, we showed you where to find our lab reports, so check that out and you can see them for yourself. Always.
