Alkemist Labs (Garden Grove, CA) will unveil an initiative called Next Generation Transparency at SupplySide West 2019 in Las Vegas, NV that provides a consumer-friendly certificate of analysis for botanical testing. Essentially, Alkemist Labs has made high-performance liquid chromatography reports comprehensible for public consumption by consumers. These certificates of analysis will be available for CBD, and for all other herbs in commerce.
