Services
OKCTL offers a complete portfolio of testing services. Our state-of-the-art laboratory and highly qualified team members enable us to complete a wide variety of testing services within a short timeframe without sacrificing quality. Testing results are typically available within one to two business days.
Moisture & Water Activity Testing
Analyzes the moisture content and water activity levels of plant material, both of which affect shelf stability.
Foreign Material Screening
Detection of any foreign matter or other substances not intentionally added that may compromise safety or such as insects, plastic, glass, or metal shavings.
Cannabinoid Profiling (Potency Testing)
Potency testing is used to find out the strength of a base product such as trim, flower, concentrates, or extracts. Knowing the potency of a product is necessary for both proper labeling and dosage.
Terpene Profiling
Terpenes provide smell and flavor to almost all plants, not just cannabis. Different profiles will affect you in different ways, which plays an important role in choosing which medicine is right for you.
Residual Solvents Screening
When processed incorrectly or incompletely, residual amounts of solvents used during the extraction process can remain in the final material. Solvents are volatile chemicals that can cause a slew of health concerns when ingested, especially after being combusted and inhaled. Testing will indicate if further processing is needed prior to consumption or sale.
Heavy Metals Analysis
Heavy Metals are typically introduced through soil, water, or low-grade fertilizers. There is a high respiratory risk from combustion, and exposure can lead to metals poisoning. Current regulations require testing for Arsenic, Cadmium, Lead, and Mercury content.
Mycotoxin Detection
Mycotoxins are produced by certain types of mold. Exposure can result in serious health concerns, particularly when that consumption is chronic. These toxins are a prevalent concern for patients with weakened or compromised immune systems.
Pesticide Detection
Many pesticides are labeled as organic, and products such as bug bombs, flea and tick treatment, and other common lawn care products utilize pesticides as active ingredients. Cannabis plants are acidic and sponge-like, and easily leach pesticides from soil, nutrients, water, and even “drift” from a neighbor’s usage.
Microbial Impurities Analysis
Depending on what type of product you have tested, this panel will cover Total Yeast/Mold Count, Salmonella, Shiga-Toxin producing E.coli, Candida Albicans, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Aerobic Bacteria, Bile Tolerant Gram-Negative Bacteria, and/or Aspergillus Flavus, Fumigatus, Terreus, and Niger. Typically, these analytes are introduced by decomposing plant material or cross-contamination from soil, hands, or tools.
Departments
OKCTL is home to five individual departments which work together to ensure accurate, verifiable, and timely results. We focus on staff redundancy, cross-training, and continuing education to ensure each department operates at peak efficiency, both independently and together as a team.
General Chemistry
The Chemists and Technicians in this department provides Moisture and Water Activity Testing, Cannabinoid Profiling, Foreign Matter Screening, Terpene Profiling, and Residual Solvents Screening. This department is home to HPLCs, GC-FIDs, Moisture Analyzers, and Water Activity Meters.
Microbial
The Microbiologists in this department provide screening for Microbiological Impurities. This department is home to a state-of-the-art PathogenDx system, which utilizes DNA-based testing rather than the traditional “plate and wait” method. This means our Microbiologists are analyzing what is actively alive on the product, rather than what might grow on it in the future. Additionally, it cuts down the testing time significantly while being more accurate. In the event that a failing analyte is suspected, the sample is retested prior to reporting.
Pesticides & Mycotoxins
The Chemists in this department provide screening for thirteen pesticides, Aflatoxins B1, B2, G1, G2 and Ochratoxin A content. This department is home to two Triple-Quadrupole LC-MS/MS instruments, meaning that every sample is ran in tandem on both instruments to ensure accurate results. If a failing analyte is suspected, the sample is spiked and tested in triplicate prior to reporting.
Heavy Metals
The Chemists and Technicians in this department provide screening for Arsenic, Cadmium, Lead, and Mercury content. This department is home to two ICP-MS instruments, meaning that every sample is ran in tandem on each instrument to verify results. If a failing analyte is suspected, the sample is tested in triplicate prior to reporting.
Quality
The specialists in this department are tasked with confirming accuracy, traceability, reproducibility, and standardization. Our Quality Assurance Department ensures regular audits, gauge studies, and blind testing studies are conducted and analyzed for abnormalities. Additionally, each individual department has a Quality Control Member, a liaison who ensures that the appropriate duplicates, blanks, and spikes are ran throughout each testing run so that any abnormalities are isolated and corrected. This department is home to the individuals who generate your final Certificate of Analysis, keep pace with evolving regulations, and ensure compliance for both OMMA and ISO standards.
Testimonials
We were very much impressed with the professionalism and timely manner we received our testing back. As a owner of a cannabis grow, I appreciate your professional way you go about your testing, I can trust your results and know Oklahomans are getting great medicine!
Best testing lab in Tulsa, hands down! The team is honest and trustworthy with fast turn around times!
Great people, better service. Fast result! Very professional and transparent. There are windows where you can watch the employees do all the sciency things.
Hands down the best place to go. They have their lab together and do it in-house. Go here first and you will have no need to even consider another lab. Keep up the good work!
We are processors in Oklahoma City and had a hard time finding a lab here that can test our product correctly and get us results in less than 2 weeks. One of our sales reps recommended OKCTL to us and my husband made the trip up there on Wednesday. They had our results back in less than 48 hours and everything looks great! Super friendly staff as well. Making the trip to OKCTL is 110% worth it.
