The SC Labs difference
Defensible Data
If the safety of your product is ever in question, SC Labs’ test results provide certifiable evidence to confirm or refute possible claims.
Peace of Mind
Confidence in your laboratory means no more wasting time and money on sending the same sample to multiple testing facilities.
Quality Assurance
Your test results not only fulfill compliance requirements but also provide insight into the trends of your production.
Compliance Testing
Getting your cannabis products to market in Oregon requires compliance testing mandated by the OLCC. This includes a laboratory-performed sampling of a cannabis batch to ensure a representative sample is obtained.
SC Labs provides a worry-free experience by managing every step of the certified testing process, from sampling to posting the final report. Looking for R&D or QA/QC testing services? We offer a comprehensive suite of tests for your unique product line.

- Sample requires at least 7 grams of plant material to perform all necessary tests.
- Sampler must collect minimum number of increments.
- All harvest batches should be sampled from bulk container for efficiency.
Concentrate Batch Sizes
Includes concentrates, extracts, finished inhalable products, or industrial hemp-derived vapor items. Sample increments are products in final retail form.
| Batch Weight - lbs | Batch Weight - kg | Sample Increment - Primary | Sample Increment - Duplicate | Number of Replicates |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 - 3.31 | 0 - 1.50 | 1 | 1 | |
| 3.32 - 6.61 | 1.51 - 3.00 | 3 | 3 | |

To calculate the number of replicates required for batches exceeding 100 kg:
Batch weight in kg/50)*1.5, rounded to the nearest whole number.
