How to Ethically Achieve Very Fast Turnaround Times in Cannabis Testing

The most common complaint cannabis producers have about their testing labs is that the turnaround time is too long. Without test results, they cannot package, label, or sell their product, which affects small businesses the most. Low throughput labs are averaging 3-4 days to return results and high throughput labs take 5-7 days or longer. This talk will reveal how labs can maintain turnaround times under 2 days without cutting corners or sacrificing accuracy.

Learning Objectives: 

1. Explain why turnaround time matters in cannabis testing and what pitfalls to avoid in the pursuit of speed.

2. Identify the key bottlenecks in cannabis testing and how to overcome them.

3. Create a list of equipment and expenses to research when starting a testing lab or increasing the capacity of an existing lab.
