Lab Testing Standards
Hyperwolf reviews product testing information, batch labels, package dates, and freshness indicators before products are listed.
What does lab-tested mean?
State-Licensed Lab Testing
COAs are issued by licensed cannabis testing labs after required potency and safety testing.
Batch Label Review
Batch labels help identify THC %, cannabinoids, package date, and expiry details where available.
Freshness Checks
Package date and expiry information help Hyperwolf assess whether products meet freshness expectations.
Compliance Screening
Testing may include potency, pesticides, microbials, mold, heavy metals, and other safety factors.
What is a COA?
A Certificate of Analysis, or COA, is an official lab report issued by a state-licensed cannabis testing laboratory. It provides batch-specific testing information for a cannabis product, including potency, cannabinoid profile, and required safety screening results.
Because COAs are tied to specific production batches, they need to match the exact batch being sold. Hyperwolf reviews COA and batch-related information as part of its product quality process.
What information can a COA include?
- Product name and batch identification number
- Testing date and laboratory information
- Cannabinoid profile, including THC and CBD where available
- Terpene analysis where tested
- Contaminant screening results
- Laboratory certification and official test details
Why batch labels matter too
A batch label is one of the most important quality markers on a cannabis product. While a COA verifies lab testing, the batch label helps confirm product-specific details customers and operators rely on, including package date and freshness indicators.
Batch or lot number
THC percentage
Cannabinoid profile
Package date
Expiry date, where applicable
Product freshness indicators
Why package date matters
Freshness matters, especially for flower. Package date and expiry information help Hyperwolf review whether a product is still within the expected freshness window before it reaches customers. For premium flower, freshness is especially important because age can affect aroma, texture, moisture, and overall product quality.
