“Mandatory Cannabis Testing for Pesticide Active Ingredients” will be in effect on January 2, 2019.

The laboratory expanded its footprint from 3,000 to 6,000 square feet to be able to put in new instruments needed for the required regulated pesticides testing for adult cannabis required by Health Canada.

The laboratory has also purchased state-of-the-art equipment including the GC-MS with CTC for Terpene Residual Solvent Testing and ICP-MS for Heavy Metal Testing. These machines will be instrumental to the requirements required for adult cannabis compliance testing.

All cannabis produced and sold by Licensed Producers will be required to test for the absence of the 95 listed pesticides, the testing must be performed at a third-party laboratory.

The laboratory has purchased LC-MS Triple Quad and GC-MS Triple Quad in preparation for the mandatory pesticide testing.

“The substantial upgrades will increase testing volumes, resulting in enhanced operating productivity and revenue growth.

With investments in the most advanced lab equipment and the best, most qualified personnel, we are confident this will improve the efficiency and speed of our cannabis testing operations within these jurisdictions for our valued customers and improve our financial performance for our valued shareholders,”

EVIO’s CEO William Waldrop stated.
