Residual Solvent Analysis

Health Canada sets strict limits on the presence of residual solvents, which are used during cannabis extraction processes but must be removed before the product is sold. The test screens for:

  • ➔ Butane

  • ➔ Propane

  • ➔ Ethanol

  • ➔ Isopropanol

  • ➔ Heptane

  • ➔ Methanol

  • ➔ Pentane

  • ➔ Hexane

  • ➔ Toluene

Residual solvents must not exceed Health Canada’s defined maximum levels, ensuring the product is safe for consumption.
