Move over potency
It’s all about
the Terps
Why terpenes matter and why you should test for them in your cannabis and hemp products.
To understand the differences between different cultivars and their effect on our bodies, we have to move beyond looking at the THC content and start thinking about the other components which make each strain unique. Terpenes are tiny molecules with powerhouse effects that have a huge impact on the character of your cannabis. In any cannabinoid product, terpenes and cannabinoids interact synergistically to create an entourage effect.

How to prepare for your next pick-up in Michigan
Prior to Pick-up
• Assign a Tag to the test sample package.
• Provide the whole physical tag to the lab’s Sample Technician.
• The tech will affix the top portion of the tag to the physical bag holding the representative sample.
• The other will be used on our official Chain of Custody form to accompany the transporter manifest.
On
• You must select in order for the lab to accept your manifest.
• A teardrop icon will appear once the manifest has been properly submitted.
• One test sample package should be created from a package, even if there are multiple package sizes. In this case, submit as a multi-package.
• Once your Manifest is transferred to the lab, you have 24 hours to make any edits or changes.
Transferring Test Samples to the Lab
• Both the Test Sample Package Quantity and the Shipped Package Quantity should be the same amount that was physically taken by our sample technicians.
• You should not create any child packages from a source package until InfiniteCAL has entered the numerical test results and the CoA is uploaded in Metrc.
• Once the test results for the source package are recorded and the Lab Testing State is set to “TestPassed”, a child package can be created and it will inherit the test results of the parent package..
Please verify the quantity of samples taken with the sample technician or InfiniteCAL’s scheduling director, before transferring your Metrc manifest.
Compliance Sampling
When our Sample Tech arrives make sure all Products are:
• Separated
• Quarantined
• Accessible
• Accurately Labeled
with the info from your Request for Sample Pick Up Form.
