Using HealthLOQ’s document protection software, Alkemist now offers certificates of analysis protected from alteration.
At Expo West booth 3575, Alkemist Labs will be highlighting its expanded services, which provide a full suite of testing services for clients, as well as the new protection of certificates of analysis (CoAs) against counterfeits and unauthorized tampering using HealthLOQ’s document protection blockchain software.
Alkemist, a specialist in identity testing of botanicals and fungi, has in recent years added new services such as heavy metals, potency, pesticides, microbiological, residual solvents, THC and THC Analogs, Astaxanthin esters, and psychedelic quantitation, among other tests.
All of the new services, besides astaxanthin, are included in Alkemist Labs’ A2LA ISO 17025 scope of accreditation (3851.01), which has been renewed through February 2026. Previously-launched services for psychedelic testing are added to the ISO scope, making Alkemist the first lab with this many psychoactive compounds from a number of different botanical sources listed on their ISO scope.
Alkemist has cautioned the industry about altered CoAs, recommending that the industry hand-check the ones people send to confirm them. Now, the lab has blockchain protection using HealthLOQ’s document protection software. Brands, retailers, regulators, consumers, and other interested parties can now verify in seconds if a given document is the unaltered, original CoA created by Alkemist.
