One of the most important aspects when it comes to the booming cannabis industry is testing, which allows consumers to make informed and safe purchasing decisions based on the strength and composition of cannabis products. Accurate testing also is important for medical patients who need specific effects and adult-use consumers, because products vary widely in their potency — and that influences the effect and experience.

Prism Lab, LLC and Prism Triangle, LLC are Michigan’s premier labs dedicated to functional medicine diagnostic services and the best full-service cannabis testing in the state. Owner Joe Ruefiel says the procedures used at the two locations are the “gold standard” in laboratory medicine.

Prism Triangle is a cannabis lab with state-of-the-art equipment and technology that provides fast testing times. Testing laboratories make sure cannabis goods are safe for consumption and free of contaminants. The Department of Cannabis Control requires all batches of cannabis goods to be tested before they can be sold.

Both labs follow all of the testing standards required by the CDC and FDA. Using this guidance, they maintain the highest probability of accuracy and a consistent outcome. Michigan mandates through the MRA — the Marijuana Regulatory Agency — that all cannabis products are tested.

“Our lab space and equipment allows for shortened testing times for the MRA required testing, from 72 hours to a little over a day,” Ruefiel says. “It helps the growers get the results faster for their samples, which helps them turn their products into money. In addition, they don’t have to quarantine their products for long periods of time.”

Prism Triangle is a little under 10,000 square feet and has the most advanced software for reporting to clients and the state. Analytes of interest include cannabinoids, terpenes, residual solvents, pesticides, heavy metals, and microorganisms. Potency information is a considerable drive for cannabis testing, to provide information on the THC and CBD levels in cannabis products.

Prism Triangle also offers courier services, and will pick up samples and securely deliver them to the lab for testing. The service is available to cannabis farms, cannabis processors, and cannabis stores.
