Cannabis testing is used in variety of applications that includes determining the concentration of cannabis in various analytical samples such as pharmaceutical drugs, and detection of contaminants such as bacteria and fungi. It is very crucial to test the cannabis products used for medicinal purposes in order to avoid side effects. Furthermore, the cannabis testing is also performed for determination of trace metals such as arsenic, cadmium that can adversely impact health if remained unchecked. These tests are performed with the help of various analytical techniques that include chromatography analysis, spectrometry, ELISA, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and others.
