Cannabinoid Potency Testing Overview

ACS Laboratory provides cannabinoid potency testing for THC, CBD, and a range of minor cannabinoids using advanced liquid chromatography with ultraviolet detection (LCUV) and liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LCMS) instrumentation. Our ISO/IEC 17025:2017 A2LA accreditation and years of industry leadership make us the most trusted cannabinoid testing laboratory in the USA.
Cannabis THC analysis and hemp and CBD testing extend beyond major cannabinoids to include up to 50 analytes, depending on the panel. This capability allows operators to track consumer demand for emerging compounds, demonstrate transparency through Certificates of Analysis (COAs), and prepare products for state or national markets.

Florida Cannabis Cannabinoid Panel (OMMU)

Florida medical cannabis providers must complete the potency 11-panel before products reach patients. ACS Laboratory is a certified cannabis potency lab equipped to deliver accurate THC potency testing and CBD potency testing that meet the Office of Medical Marijuana Use (OMMU) requirements with speed and precision.
The Florida OMMU 11-panel potency method measures major cannabinoids along with select minors to confirm compliance. Medical Marijuana Treatment Centers (MMTC)s can validate formulations and label claims, and ensure consumer confidence in every batch.

Expanded Cannabinoid Panels (LCUV/LCMS)

Cannabis and hemp brands can access expanded cannabinoid potency testing panels with ACS. Using gold-standard LCUV and LCMS methods, our team provides accurate results for major cannabinoids and a wide range of minors. These panels help cultivators, manufacturers, and MMTCs refine formulations, evaluate cultivar performance, and prepare products for every market.

The expanded Potency 13 panel is ideal for research and development (R&D), covering THC, CBD, and nine core minors like CBG, CBC, Δ8, and Δ10. Nationwide hemp operators may also choose the National Hemp Compliance panel, which includes 39 cannabinoids and 11 additional minors for those who sell in Colorado. This cannabinoid LCMS panel satisfies the strictest potency testing rules in the country.

HHC Potency Panel

Hemp brands producing HHC products need more than a standard potency test. HHC comes with stereoisomers, metabolites, and analogs that influence how it performs and how it’s regulated. A dedicated HHC potency testing panel captures those compounds to give brands clear answers for R&D and compliance.

ACS Laboratory’s specialized HHC panel profiles nine derivatives and includes a compliance check for Δ9-THC to confirm products stay within regulatory limits (below 0.3%). Results support consumer safety, marketing efforts, and retailer acceptance. An optional HHC heavy metals add-on is also available for safety assurance.

Reporting: COAs, QR Codes & Label Accuracy

Every sample comes with a Certificate of Analysis (COA) proving your product passed cannabinoid label accuracy testing. ACS Laboratory’s COAs include pass/fail status, quantitative data, and formatting that matches state requirements. A built-in QR code links every batch to its verified results, so regulators, retailers, and consumers can instantly confirm safety.

Verifying that potency claims match your packaging prevents costly recalls and strengthens your brand’s reputation. It also educates consumers so they have the best possible experience.
