What is Moisture Content Analysis?
Moisture content analysis involves measuring the amount of water present in cannabis plant samples. This is crucial for preventing microbial growth and ensuring the product's stability and quality. By accurately determining moisture content, producers can ensure their products meet regulatory standards and maintain high quality.
Benefits of Our Moisture Content Analysis
- Microbial Prevention: Low moisture content helps prevent the growth of bacteria, yeast, and mold, ensuring product safety.
- Product Quality: Proper moisture levels maintain the quality and potency of cannabis products.
- Regulatory Compliance: Ensures your products meet the legal moisture content requirements.
- Quality Assurance: Consistent moisture content levels ensure uniform product quality, enhancing consumer trust.
Our Moisture Content Analysis Process
At Novacann Labs, we utilize advanced Moisture Analyser technology to measure moisture content accurately and efficiently. Our process includes:
- Sample Preparation: Weighing cannabis plant samples to ensure accurate initial measurements.
- Heating and Evaporation: Running the samples on the Moisture Analyser, which heats the samples to evaporate all contained water.
- Gravimetric Analysis: Calculating the moisture content by measuring the weight loss during evaporation.
Legal Compliance and Standards
In Puerto Rico, the legally established maximum limit for moisture content in a cannabis flower batch is 13%, as per “Reglamento 9038”. Flowers exceeding this limit fail the test and may need to complete their drying/curing cycle to comply with regulations.
