Method Validation for Cannabis Testing
- Jason Stine, ANAB
Method validation plays an integral role in planning for quality results in any testing laboratory. Validation should include a systematic assessment of factors influencing results, inter-laboratory comparisons, and testing method robustness through variation of controlled parameters. In the absence of industry standard methods for cannabis testing, robust and rigorous method validation is critical to ensure the test methods are fit for the intended use. Method validation must be a planned activity in the laboratory.
