In Texas, regulatory precision is non-negotiable. As the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) enforces the strict safety thresholds of TAC §300.303(l), your brand needs a laboratory partner that understands the specific “parts per million” (ppm) requirements that determine whether your product hits the shelf or faces a stop-sale order.
Anresco Laboratories provides the ISO 17025-accredited analysis required to satisfy the Texas Health and Safety Code. Whether you are processing raw biomass or manufacturing finished consumables, we ensure your products meet every Texas limit—from heavy metals to specialized microbial pathogens.
Total Scientific Oversight for Lone Star State Producers
Texas remains a strict Total THC state. We utilize advanced HPLC technology to verify that your products remain within the 0.3% legal limit. Our potency testing also provides the exact milligram-per-serving data required for compliant Texas labeling.
Texas has specific ppm thresholds for the "Big Four" metals. Our ICP-MS technology ensures your products do not exceed:
Arsenic: 1.5 ppm
Cadmium: 0.3 ppm
Lead: 1.0 ppm
Mercury: 0.5 ppm
Beyond standard tests, Texas requires "No Detection" for a wide array of harmful pathogens.
Our microbiological suite includes specialized screens for:
Pathogens: Campylobacter, Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus, and Yersinia.
Mandatory Screens: E. coli, Salmonella, and Shiga-Toxin.
Indicator Organisms: Total Aerobic Count and Total combined yeast/molds count16.
Our laboratory is equipped to detect all 28 mandatory Texas pesticides at their specific ppm action levels—ranging from trace limits of 0.1 ppm for Dichlorvos to higher thresholds like 18 ppm for Cypermethrin.
