New regulation for the OMMP Program is around the corner. We have been asked by many facilities “How do I choose a reputable laboratory?” We recommend that you ask the following questions:
[itemlist]

• What equipment does your laboratory use?
• What is the process of testing that your laboratory uses?
• Does your lab test everything on one piece of equipment or do they have multiple pieces?
• Does your lab use testing equipment or test strips?
• What is the system of quality control that your laboratory uses?
• Does your laboratory have a physical address?
• What training does your laboratory personnel have?
• How do you validate your analytical methods?
• Does your lab test every sample or do they give results based on a comparison of history of other samples that look similar?
• What kind of samples do you test for?
• What are the methods that you use and what are the limits to those methods?
• Is your laboratory independent of any dispensary or medical marijuana facility?
