Leading the way in Medicinal Cannabis Testing

We have exciting news to share about an extension to our NZ Minimum Quality Standard (MQS) pesticide residue suites,
Hill Laboratories have now extended our NZ Minimum Quality Standard pesticide residue suites to include daminozide and chlormequat in the domestic suite, and dithiocarbomates in the import and export suite.
These residues require entirely separate testing methods and as a result the cost of the suites has been increased accordingly. With this new addition of testing services, Hill Laboratories is the only laboratory in the country to meet the full requirements of both the NZ MQS and European Pharmacopoeia requirements for Medicinal Cannabis on selected matrices.
The dithiocarbomate test is currently only available for plant material, but chlormequat/daminozide can be provided for plant material and finished medicinal oils.
Please note that dithiocarbamate, daminozide and chlormequat results are only ISO 17025 accredited for plant material at this stage.
