Core offering

Cannalabs is a Health Canada-licensed Canadian laboratory that provides analytical testing services (potency, pesticides, residual solvents, microbial, elemental impurities, terpenes, aflatoxins, compendial, stability) for cannabis, nutraceutical, and pharmaceutical products. It also offers science-driven product development services for recreational and medicinal cannabis dosage forms under its Health Canada R&D licence, packaged as the Health Canada Package and complementary Cannabis and Nutraceutical/Pharmaceutical testing suites.

Product overview

CannaLabs is a Canadian laboratory services company licensed by Health Canada, offering a unified portfolio of analytical testing and product development services. The core offering centers on the Health Canada Package, which bundles all mandatory regulatory testing.
