COMPANION SCIENCES
A life-sciences company with a research focus on novel formulations of CBD that potentiate the bio-absorption of a range of nutraceuticals and food supplements, while simultaneously enhancing the availability of CBD itself. We are pursuing patent-protected formulations that address a range of needs, among people and pets, related to physical and emotional well-being.
OUTSIDE PRODUCT
TESTING
Our in-house analytical capabilities also allow us to evaluate products that our customers have bought from other manufacturers or wholesalers. Oftentimes, our customers find out through our analytical testing that the product they have purchased from other manufacturers does not contain the cannabinoid content or more THC than they were promised.
FINISHED PRODUCT
TESTING
The integrity of our product is of utmost importance to us, which is why it is imperative for us to test for purity. In addition to verifying cannabidiol concentration, we ensure our oil contains the appropriate levels of broad spectrum cannabinoids including Cannabigerol (CBG), Cannabichromene (CBC) and Cannabinol (CBN). All finished products are tested prior to distribution. We also work closely with ISO 17025 and CDPHE certified third-party labs to make sure our test results are consistent with their analysis.
IN PROCESS
TESTING
Throughout the process of extracting CBD from industrial hemp, we use production samples to ensure that the product meets specifications. This testing is routinely performed to ensure purity, efficacy, and concentration.
RAW MATERIAL
TESTING
We test hemp plants brought in from farmers across Colorado to help them determine the ideal time to harvest. Testing the plants before and throughout the process means there is no guess work. We also complete ID testing on our other ingredients, such as MCT oil, to ensure it meets specifications and does not have microbial contamination before using it for formulation. The finished CBD product we process is exactly what was expected – raw material testing ensures consistency in the quality of our product with every batch.
