Columbia Laboratories offers reliable, comprehensive contaminant and quality Kratom testing with an 8-business day turnaround time.
Kratom Potency Testing
Kratom quality, or “potency,” is measured by quantitation of distinct alkaloids. Kratom “potency” testing can be performed on a variety of matrices, from leaf material and extracts to tinctures and gummies.
As of 2021, Columbia Labs has expanded the Kratom Potency Profile to include all the known alkaloids for Kratom quality testing.
The following alkaloids are now available, individually, or as the full potency profile:
- Mitragynine
- 7-hydroxymitragynine
- Isorhynchophylline
- Speciociliatine
- Paynantheine
- Mitraphylline
- Speciogynine
