We are a pioneering force in the realm of plant science, dedicated to unraveling the mysteries that plants hold, from testing and research to education and sustainable innovation.
As the only DEA-registered laboratory (pending approval) for cannabis and hemp testing in Illinois, we stand as the exclusive authority entrusted with testing cannabis and hemp throughout the state. Precision and compliance form the cornerstone of our identity. In addition to our testing capabilities, we specialize in education, research, development, demonstration, and deployment, creating a comprehensive platform that extends beyond cannabis and hemp, encompassing the broader realm of plant science advancement.
Delve into our laboratory, where skilled professionals meticulously analyze the intricate composition of plant samples. Through detailed examination, we uncover the secrets of cannabinoids, terpenes, and other compounds, shedding light on the complex tapestry of nature's creations.
Driven by scientific curiosity, our adept scientists explore the potential of natural compounds to enhance human health. Our findings open doors to innovative therapeutic solutions, offering hope and possibilities for addressing various conditions.
At 2-Leaf Research, knowledge is not confined within our walls. We share our insights generously, empowering physicians, patients, and researchers alike. Together, we push the boundaries of botanical understanding and drive progress through collaboration.
While our expertise includes the medicinal realm of Cannabis, we are equally committed to the sustainable potential of the versatile hemp plant. By reducing carbon footprints and promoting eco-friendly practices, we contribute to a greener future for all.
Terpenes, the aromatic and flavorful compounds found in flowers, herbs, and spices, contribute to distinct scents and tastes.
Inherent hazards accompany the use of pesticides, designed to combat microorganisms and plant pests. However, the drawback lies in the possibility of residue transfer onto end products.
The assessment of heavy metal contamination holds vital significance across flowers, water, food, and solvent-based products.
The creation of concentrated oils and waxes involves the use of solvents like acetone, ethanol, and butane for cannabinoid and terpene extraction from cannabis and hemp plants.
Microorganisms and bacteria are ubiquitous in our world. They often can grow under the same conditions as cannabis and if consumed, these contaminants could lead to serious illness.
The favorable warm and humid conditions that foster cannabis growth also promote the proliferation of molds and fungi, many of which remain unseen but carry significant danger.
Vitamin E acetate, vegetable glycerol, propylene glycol, and other lipids have the potential to disrupt the natural function of lung surfactants, leading to lipid accumulation in the lungs and, in severe cases, lipid pneumonia.
Macro-nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium are crucial mineral elements required by plants in substantial quantities for robust growth.
Crop contamination can lead to devastating crop failures and significant economic losses.
Over time, environmental factors such as temperature, lighting, air, and humidity can exert an impact on the quality and integrity of cannabis and hemp products.
Embark on a journey that celebrates the intricate marvels of plant science. At 2-Leaf Research, we are more than scientists – we are explorers, educators, and innovators, uncovering nature’s secrets for the betterment of humanity and our planet.
