The Laboratory

ACS Laboratory is the leading provider of HEMP/CBD laboratory testing services in Florida.  Founded in 2008, the ISO17025, AHCA and CLIA Accredited Laboratory is also DEA registered and uses state-of-the-art ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC/MSMS, GC/MS and ICP/MS) technology. Utilizing our vast experience in high complexity laboratory tests, we developed proprietary testing methodologies which created enhanced detection ability and improved accuracy. Without standards, compliance measures and proper methods, cbd and hemp testing would be a guessing game and pose numerous threats to the public consumer.  In our 20,000 sq ft state of the art facility outside of TAMPA, FL we test for Potency in Biomass, Flower, Trim, Extracts, Crude Oil, Isolates, Distillates, Edibles, Manufactured  and Complex products like Patches, Aerosols and Nano Water. ACS tests for 17 different cannabinoids,  terpenes, residual solvents, pesticides, moisture, water activity microbiology including mold, mildew, e.coli, pathogens, mycotoxins, plant regulators, heavy metals, flavonoids, micronutrients and even bioanalysis for pharmacokinetics (PK). 

Our expert scientific team was able to react quickly to the recent wave of “vape-related illnesses” and developed the first of its kind Vitamin E Acetate panel to ensure products are “VAPE SAFE.”

In 2019 ACS Laboratory was awarded 21 Emerald Badges, more than any other Lab in the eastern USA, for our accuracy, consistency and proficiency in testing.

The Emerald Test™ is an Inter-Laboratory Comparison and Proficiency Test (ILC/PT) program. It brings to the cbd/hemp industry a well-established standard for testing found in the environmental, food, pharmaceutical, water, and petrochemical testing industries. Through the participation of labs around the world, the ILC/PT helps establish an industry benchmark for cbd/hemp compliance testing.  

Ensuring the end consumer receives a safe, non-toxic product through third party independent laboratory compliance testing is vital to any operating cbd/hemp business.
