Testing & Validation

A brand you can trust.

At The Pot Lab, we are a research cooperative dedicated to advancing cannabinoid science. We do not provide commercial testing services. Instead, we develop and validate cutting-edge research methodologies for cannabinoid analysis and offer research products to our donation-based members.

Precision Research with Shimadzu RP-HPLC-UVvis

Our laboratory employs Shimadzu Reverse Phase High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) with UV-Vis detection to ensure the highest standard of accuracy in cannabinoid and phytochemical analysis. Our validated research methods support:

  • Cannabinoid Profiling – Identifying and quantifying THC, CBD, CBG, CBN, THCA, CBDA, and other minor cannabinoids.
  • Purity & Stability Studies – Investigating degradation pathways and shelf-life optimization.
  • Bioavailability Research – Understanding cannabinoid absorption and metabolic pathways.
  • Product Development Support – Generating data for formulation refinement and scientific exploration.

Validated Research Products

As a cooperative, we provide research-grade products to support academic and independent scientific inquiry. Our research materials are available exclusively to donation-based members and are intended for non-commercial, investigational use.
