Most cannabis testing labs in California didn’t survive standardization.
When California tightened regulations and restructured compliance protocols, a majority of cannabis labs were forced out. Today, only a small number of ISO accredited labs remain standing and Encore Labs continues to lead from the front.
This is the side of cannabis most people never see.
The science. The precision. The accountability behind every product that reaches the shelf.
From potency analysis and terpene profiling to pesticides, heavy metals, and microbial testing, Encore Labs has spent years helping raise the standard for cannabis compliance in California while contributing to the development of methodologies surrounding DCC testing standards.
In an industry where trust matters more than ever, accurate COAs and consistent testing are everything.
Proud to connect with a team helping shape the future of cannabis through real science and real standards. 🌱🔬
