Third-Party Testing: Why Full Panels Matter for Hemp and Cannabis

Manufacturers of hemp and cannabis products must provide transparent, safe, high-quality products. The only way to make sure that products meet these standards is through testing. Our testing process at ATLRx involves third-party verification through full panel assessments to validate product quality. 

Our full panel testing method performs detailed product assessments that look deeper than surface-level tests. To guarantee product strength and purity, our tests check for pesticides, heavy metals, and microbes in addition to identifying the kinds of terpenes and flavonoids present in each product that we carry.

Here’s why full panel testing matters and why it’s a cornerstone of our commitment to excellence.

The Need for Full Panel Testing

Full panel testing shows our deep commitment to making safe, legal hemp and cannabis products available to our customers. ATLRx uses trusted independent labs to test all our products and maintain open accountability to our customers. 

Our full panel tests verify that our products are free of dangerous elements and adhere to legal safety standards. We are able to produce products that meet official standards and surpass customer expectations thanks to our rigorous testing procedures. 

Providing our clients with dependable and high-quality products is our first priority. Selecting ATLRx means that you are supporting a company that puts your interest first.

What Is Full Panel Testing?

Full panel testing is a thorough evaluation of hemp and cannabis products conducted by independent third-party labs. This process examines:

• Potency Testing: Verifies the amounts of cannabinoids such as CBD, Delta 9 THC, and Delta 8 THC to guarantee proper labeling and efficient dosage.
• Testing for Contaminants: Checks for dangerous materials like pesticides, heavy metals, and leftover solvents. 
• Microbial Testing: Checks for bacteria, mold, and other microorganisms that could pose major health risks.
• Residual Solvent Testing: Makes sure that any solvents used during extraction are reduced to safe levels.
• Terpene and Flavonoid Profiling: Measures the substances that give our products their flavor, aroma, and possible effects.

Every ATLRx product is guaranteed to meet our exacting standards for efficacy, safety, and quality thanks to this all-encompassing approach.

Why Full Panel Testing Is Important to ATLRx

At ATLRx, full panel testing isn’t just a box we check off; it’s a core part of our mission. Here’s why it matters:

• Consumer Safety: By guaranteeing that our products are devoid of dangerous impurities, full panel testing safeguards our clients.
• Transparency: In order to foster trust and give our clients the knowledge they require to make wise decisions, we freely disclose the results of our laboratory tests in the form of Certificates of Analysis (COAs).
• Compliance: By meeting and exceeding regulatory standards, we ensure that our products can be sold nationwide without raising any concerns about their safety or legality.
• Quality Assurance: Every ATLRx product is guaranteed to produce consistent, dependable results thanks to full panel testing.

When you see our lab reports, you’ll know exactly what you’re getting. That is the type of accountability and transparency that we support.

Full Panel Testing Explained

Potency Testing

To determine the precise amount of THC and CBD or other cannabinoids in our products, we must properly test their potency. Labs that use Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (LCMS) and High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC-UV) techniques to conduct accurate cannabis potency tests are what we prefer at ATLRx. Our customers receive correct product information and consistent dosage amounts thanks to our testing methods.

Contaminant Testing

Hemp and cannabis plants are natural bioaccumulators, meaning they can absorb substances from their environment. 

Full panel testing ensures that our products are free from harmful contaminants like:

• Pesticides: Commonly used in agriculture but harmful when ingested.
• Heavy Metals: Such as lead and mercury, which can pose serious health risks.
• Microbial Contaminants: Including bacteria and mold that can lead to infections.
• Residual Solvents: Chemicals used in extraction processes that must be reduced to safe levels.

Terpene and Flavonoid Testing

We at ATLRx think terpene and flavonoid analysis produce superior products and educate our customers effectively. Terpenes and flavonoids contribute significantly to the sensory experience of hemp and cannabis products. These compounds not only contribute to aroma and flavor, but they also enhance the “entourage effect,” which works in tandem with cannabinoids to boost potential effects. We make sure our products are as efficient and pleasurable as possible by profiling these compounds.

Compliance with Regulations

ATLRx works diligently to meet and surpass every hemp and cannabis industry regulation. Our full panel testing procedure ensures:  

• Compliance with state and federal regulations.  
• Accurate cannabinoid potency to meet legal limits.  
• Our tests thoroughly inspect all products to match FDA and USDA regulations. 

By adhering to these high standards, we reduce risks and provide peace of mind to our customers, who know they’re choosing products they can trust.

Final Thoughts: Complete Panel Testing Promotes Customer Loyalty and Trust

Our team at ATLRx goes beyond industry standards to create new benchmarks. High safety and dependability standards are maintained by our products thanks to our full-panel testing process. Showing our clients our test results increases their trust in us because it demonstrates our commitment to precise and superior work.

Selecting ATLRx means that you are supporting a company that puts your interest first. Full panel testing isn’t just a process; it’s our promise to you.
