Expert Cannabis Testing Solutions
Cannabis plants are hyperaccumulators: they absorb metals from the soil, water, and fertilizers at much higher levels than other plants. Retail cannabis quality is a serious concern, as plants with metal accumulation present a serious health risk.
Clean Cannabis will test a sample of your product for heavy metals, and other harmful accumulation.

Yes, heavy metals can be present in cannabis.
Cannabis plants are hyperaccumulators, meaning they can absorb metals from the soil, water, and fertilizers at much higher levels than other plants.
Whether you are a grower, manufacturer, or retailer, you need positive confirmation your product does not carry heavy metals or other toxic chemicals.
Some states regulate the concentration of heavy metals in marijuana products, but regulation limits vary by state and material. With the lack of systematic analysis of heavy metal contaminants in cannabis preparations, you need clarity on what your products contain.
How the Massbox Works
Massbox directly analyzes a solid material and provides trace-level detection for nearly the entire periodic table of elements (lithium to uranium).
As a process control tool, Massbox can quickly verify that active elements have been evenly distributed. If the critical elements are poorly distributed, Massbox can diagnose which step in the process caused the issue.
Massbox in the Media
Featuring the Massbox is Robert Thomas's latest edition of the "Practical Guide to ICP-MS and Other Atomic Spectroscopy Techniques." Our very own Massbox's LALI-TOF-MS technique is featured in one of the new chapters.
This comprehensive guide, the first of its kind since 2014, offers invaluable insights into the world of ICP-MS while comparing it with other complementary AS techniques. Plus, it dives into the incredible capabilities of LALI-TOF-MS, including the same Massbox technology used by Clean Cannabis.
