Residual Solvent Analysis
Hemp extractors use solvent washes and other materials to extract terpenes, cannabinoids, and other desirable compounds from unwanted plant material. Sometimes solvents do not fully evaporate in the cleaning processes. And even solvent-free concentrates could contain unwanted byproducts from cleaning materials in the lab. At certain levels, these substances are potentially harmful. Since exposure is unavoidable, it’s important to test products for lingering contaminants. Residual solvent testing lets manufacturers know the quality of an extraction and if it is safe for consumer consumption.
