Investing in the Latest Technology with the Future in Mind

As we work with our clients to address the technical and regulatory challenges of today, we have not lost site of the future and our commitment to producing the highest quality defensible and reliable data with market-leading turnaround times. With the direction from our scientific team, we have invested in state-of-the-art analytical instrumentation and infrastructure to support research and development, regulatory and routine in-market testing for the broadest array of nicotine containing and cannabis products.

Reliable and Defensible Results at Market-leading Speed Supported by the Latest Laboratory Methods

You can be confident in the data we produce. With over 45 years of experience in highly regulated markets, our scientific team is skilled at developing and validating methods for today’s complex and rapidly evolving nicotine, cannabis and hemp products. Our method validation process is comprehensive and designed to meet regulatory, research and routine testing standards.
