Hemp testing FAQs
Hemp Testing Questions
Have questions about hemp testing at AIT? Below are answers to some of the most common questions we receive. If you don’t see what you’re looking for, contact our team and we’ll be happy to help guide you through the process.
How much sample should I send in?
What containers should I use to send my sample?
Samples should be securely packaged to prevent leaks or cross-contamination. Recommended options include:
- Ziploc bags for wet or dry hemp, double bagged when possible
- Centrifuge tubes or containers with screw caps or secure lids
- Finished products in sealed containers or original packaging
Pre-sterilized tubes, available from suppliers such as Amazon, can help reduce contamination risk but are not required.
How can I pay for my hemp tests?
AIT Labs accepts checks, credit cards, and ACH payments.
- Checks may be included with your sample shipment
- Credit card and ACH payments are available through our QuickBooks invoice portal
- A 3.9% processing fee applies to credit card or ACH payments when a check is not included with the samples
Where does the information on the Certificate of Analysis come from?
All COA information is pulled directly from the Request for Analysis form. This includes sample name, company name, and address. Additional details such as batch number, strain, or batch size can be included if listed on the form.
If you have special reporting needs, contact our office and we will work with you.
Where do you accept hemp samples from?
AIT Labs accepts hemp samples from anywhere in the United States. Because hemp is federally legal, samples can be shipped across state lines. Many of our clients are located outside of North Dakota.
How can I ship samples to AIT Labs?
Most customers use USPS, UPS, FedEx, or Speedee. We recommend including the Chain of Title and Affirmation form inside the shipment so it is clear the material is legal hemp if inspected.
Can you test cannabis samples?
No. Marijuana is federally illegal and cannot be shipped across state lines. Do not send any samples that fall outside the legal definition of hemp.
How do I use a promo code?
Promo codes should be entered in the Promo Code section of the Request for Analysis form. If you forget, contact our team and we can update and resend your invoice. Printable coupons can also be included in your shipment.
