Robust Technological Solutions for Successful Heavy Metal Testing in Cannabis and Hemp Products by ICP-MS

With cannabis now legal for medical and/or recreational use in most U.S. states, concerns about potential health risks associated with its consumption have grown. Recent studies have highlighted the elevated risk of toxic heavy metal exposure in regular cannabis users, which may lead to stricter regulatory statues and underscores the urgent need for robust testing to mitigate these risks. 

This presentation explores the current state of heavy metal testing, focusing on recent innovations in Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) technology and how they can be utilized to optimize testing protocols to meet the evolving safety standards set forth by various state regulatory agencies.
