Understanding the Science Behind Product Testing

In a market driven by transparency and regulation, lab testing is more than a checkbox—it’s the foundation of trust. For brands, precise testing validates product claims, ensures legal compliance, and prevents costly recalls. Whether it’s verifying delta-9 THC levels in hemp beverages or detecting trace solvents in vapes, each test type serves a specific safety and regulatory function.

For consumers, lab testing provides assurance. A full-panel Certificate of Analysis (COA) can reveal what’s in a product—and what isn’t. Clean COAs help users avoid harmful substances like pesticides, mycotoxins, or heavy metals while confirming advertised potency.

Lab testing drives product integrity across the entire plant and fungi spectrum. ACS blogs in this category break down complex testing science into practical, readable insights that help brands and consumers alike make smarter decisions.
