Most cannabis concentrates use a solvent to extract out the cannabinoids and terpenes from the plant material. In some cases, impurities from the solvent remain in the final cannabis product.
As of July 1, 2022, Maine requires absence of residual solvents, poisons, and toxins which may be either used in processing cannabis, or can become a byproduct from a process to make a cannabis product.
Indicative Testing will inspect your sample using our elite GC-MS/HS (headspace gas chromatography and mass spectrometry) analysis equipment, featuring best-in-class sample prep and the world's most sensitive sensor.

Residual Solvent Testing
Overview
Our Testing Process
Once your sample is received, it will be scanned into our laboratory information management system (LIMS) and updated in Metrc. Your sample will be labeled and safely stored in our secure temperature controlled locker until scheduled testing begins.
Our automated homogenization and sample prep process greatly reduces test variability and human error not only through precision robotic movements, but by tracking your sample through our sophisticated software, while uploading results in real time.
The method for quantifying residual solvents is GC/MS-HS, a simple technique that allows only the volatile component of the cannabis sample to be measured.
Upon test completion, your results will be verified by one of our qualified team members. Your certificate of analysis(COA) will be promptly updated and emailed to you, while the batch is updated in Metrc.
