A Guide to Hemp Method Validations - Part Three
June 21, 2021
The first two papers in this series have provided the information to allow end users to understand and select a validated method for their testing needs. This paper will focus on aspects for two different types of validations, those for chemistry and microbiology methods. A variety of different types of tests are performed to ensure products are safe for consumption from harmful contaminants (pesticides, heavy metals, microbials) and possess enticing profiles (potency, terpene profile). These tests can be simplified screening assays or complex methods that require training and expertise, and each method should be put through a rigorous validation study.
Cannabinoids such as Delta-8 are growing in prevalence and might be shaping the way labs test.
Our diverse portfolio of solutions provides tools to maintain the highest quality products, reduce exposure risks, and meet regulatory standards.
While validation of a method establishes known performance requirements, verification ensures the method works as intended for the desired matrices and facilities.
This paper will go over the differences between these two ways to validate a method and list the various benefits of internal and external method validations.
This paper will focus on aspects for two different types of validations, those for chemistry and microbiology methods.
This paper outlines the requirements that methods must meet to be considered validated and the advantages of validated methods.
