Mycotoxin Testing

Ensure product safety and regulatory compliance with accurate mycotoxin screening.

Mycotoxins are toxic secondary metabolites produced by certain molds that can contaminate cannabis during cultivation, harvest, or storage. Our laboratory provides reliable mycotoxin testing using LC-MS/MS technology, following our in-house validated method (LAB-MTD-038). This test is essential for ensuring your product meets strict safety standards and remains compliant with Health Canada and international export regulations.

Target Analytes:

  • Aflatoxin B1

  • Aflatoxin B2

  • Aflatoxin G1

  • Aflatoxin G2

  • Ochratoxin A

These five regulated mycotoxins are commonly found in contaminated cannabis and can pose serious health risks, particularly to immunocompromised individuals.

Method Overview:

  • Technique: Liquid Chromatography–Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS)

  • Limit of Quantification (LOQ): As low as 0.1 ppb

  • Validated Matrix: Cannabis flower, oils, extracts, edibles

Why Choose Our Mycotoxin Test?

  • Regulatory Compliance: Fully validated to meet Health Canada, EU, and USP standards

  • Accurate Detection: Highly sensitive LC-MS/MS for ultra-trace level analysis

  • Product Safety: Minimize recall risk by ensuring your product is mold toxin–free

Turnaround Time: 5 business days

Sample Size Required: 5g for dried flower, 2g for extracts

Method Reference: LAB-MTD-038
