Material & data will be presented to show the stability of the preparation steps, analytical methods, the benefit of adding sample preparation automation and software solutions to integrate data into laboratory LIMs efficiently. References will show that having a validated method, and SOP, for the cannabis testing industry is key in ensuring the highest quality of cannabis reaches the patient. In addition, the influence of the cannabis sample type tested will be discussed as the sample type matrix (flower, extracts, and edibles) has considerable effects on the data integrity.
