Frequently Asked Questions
Got questions? We have answers!
Do I bring samples, or do you collect?
We can do either! For R&D testing, you can drop of samples at our location or call us to schedule a fast, simple pickup.
How much sample do you need?
For flower we recommend at least 5 grams, and more if it is uncured to account for the loss in moisture after drying. For edibles, tinctures, and concentrates we require 2 grams or one unit.
How will I receive results?
Skip the headache of logging into third party accounts! We email or text results directly to you.
What is the turnaround time?
You will get results in 5 days - or less! We make every effort to be as fast as possible. Need your results the very next day? Ask us about our 24-hour turnaround availability.
Do your tests satisfy state and federal requirements?
Pinnacle Analytics is licensed by the Oregon Liquor Control Commission (OLCC) to perform compliance tests for state-licensed hemp and marijuana businesses. Unlike our R&D testing services, Pinnacle's compliance COA's satisfy state requirements for marijuana testing and national standards for hemp testing. Pinnacle testing processes satisfy Oregon Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program (ORELAP) scientific standards, which is recognized by The NELAC Institute's (TNI) National Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program (NELAP).
Rest assured, we keep all test results and personal information confidential.
What if a re-test is requested by a client or required by an authority?
We are required by Oregon state law and our ORELAP accreditation to keep a backup sample of the material tested for at least 7 days should any legal issue arise that requires re-testing.
