Our Quality Control Practices
Transparent Batch & Lot Tracking
To ensure our products are consistent and meet the highest standards of quality, every batch of raw material and every production lot of finished goods is assigned a unique tracking number (LOT #) to identify it during our quarantine, production, and post-purchase processes.
Material Inspection and Sampling
Upon receiving new raw materials, we place them in a designated quarantine area, distinct from approved raw materials. Only trained employees, responsible for sampling, handle materials in this area. No material is used in production or dispatched to clients until all testing procedures and documentation are completed.
Any given shipment of raw material can contain several containers of the same product. To be sure all the material is up to our quality standards, samples are taken from every container. A composite sample is blended from these samples and sent to a third-party lab for analysis.
Each sample goes through several tests. Different products undergo different analyses based on the product’s chemical composition and properties. The product's specification data sheet outlines the tests conducted on the product and includes information about the minimum standards set by the company. These specifications are publicly posted for every product on the product listing page.
Quality Test
Testing Process at XLR8 Delta
Organic Farming Testing
Quality control for us begins from the very moment hemp plant seeds are sown. We distinguish ourselves from our competitors by committing to entirely organic farming methods. This approach prioritises natural processes and materials, ensuring that our plants thrive on fertilisers and pesticides derived from organic sources.
Meticulous Raw Hemp Processing
At XLR8 Delta, our commitment to quality doesn't stop at sourcing. During the processing phase, we meticulously mill raw hemp into a coarse powder, ensuring that our products are free from any contaminants. Our operations strictly follow the FDA's Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) and the Code of Federal Regulations, reflecting our dedication to delivering products of unmatched quality and purity to our customers.
Advanced Cannabinoid Extraction
In our extraction phase, we carefully separate cannabinoids from plant matter using advanced technology. This sophisticated process maximises the collection of desirable cannabinoids, ensuring a potent blend for our products.
At XLR8 Delta, our extraction process safeguards hundreds of cannabinoids, promoting the entourage effect—a synergy that enhances effects when CBD, CBDA, CBG, CBN, and other cannabinoids work in harmony.
Furthermore, our method preserves the natural flavonoids and terpenes, adding depth to the taste profile of our products. This commitment to detail ensures that XLR8 Delta delivers a comprehensive and premium hemp experience.
Refining Products for Compliance
Following the extraction phase, our hemp products undergo meticulous refinement to align with U.S. regulations. U.S. law mandates that all hemp products available in the country must not exceed the federal limit of 0.03% THC by weight.
In this crucial step, THC is carefully extracted to ensure compliance with the federal limit. The refinement process may vary based on the product and its specific goals.
Certain products, such as our gummies, focus on delivering an exceptional experience within the legal limit, offering an intense THC experience while adhering to regulatory requirements.
However, we understand that preferences differ, and regulations vary. Therefore, our process goes a step further, refining some products to contain 0.00% THC. This caters to customers who prefer THC-free options or reside in states where such compliance is required by law. At XLR8 Delta, we strive to provide a diverse range of high-quality products that meet the needs and preferences of all our valued customers.
Laboratory Test
Laboratory Quality Assurance
Microbial Testing
In our commitment to delivering pristine products, the first step in our laboratory testing at XLR8 Delta is microbial testing. This critical assessment is designed to safeguard consumers from potentially harmful levels of microorganisms.
Hemp plants, being a natural environment, can attract various tiny life forms. Our rigorous testing procedures are specifically designed to eliminate microbial contaminants, including bacteria, yeast, and mould, that may thrive in unfavourable conditions.
Residual solvent analysis
In our ongoing commitment to product safety, the second step in our rigorous lab testing at XLR8 Delta is the Residual Solvent Analysis. Certain cannabinoid extraction methods may use solvents that leave behind residues, posing potential health risks upon consumption.
Residues such as lead, mercury, cadmium, and other heavy metals may unintentionally find their way into products during cultivation or manufacturing. The Residual Solvent Analysis process is dedicated to identifying and quantifying these residues.
To ensure uncompromised consumer safety, our products adhere to stringent limits. Our comprehensive solvent testing meticulously scrutinises all materials present in refined hemp, guaranteeing the complete absence of harmful residues
Mycotoxin Analysis
As the third crucial step in our lab testing process, XLR8 Delta conducts meticulous Mycotoxin Analysis. Mould can generate mycotoxins, harmful substances that may persist in a product even after the mould is eliminated. Our analysis is designed to identify and eliminate any trace remains of these mycotoxins, ensuring the highest standards of safety and quality in our products.
Foreign Material Inspection
As the fourth pivotal step in our quality control process, XLR8 Delta conducts meticulous Foreign Material Inspection. Through visual inspection and microscopic examination of refined hemp, we ensure that our products are free from any foreign particles that could compromise our rigorous quality control standards and jeopardise consumer safety.
This thorough testing approach isn't limited to identifying specific materials; instead, it aims to detect anything that doesn't belong. Foreign material inspection helps us identify and remove contaminants such as dust, particles from machines, hairs, or any other unwanted elements that may inadvertently find their way into the production process.
Precision Testing: LC & MS Analysis
In the subsequent step of our quality assurance process, XLR8 Delta employs advanced scientific technologies – Liquid Chromatography and Mass Spectrometry. These cutting-edge methodologies delve deep into our products' composition, providing an unparalleled level of precision in determining the exact concentration of cannabinoids.
This advanced analysis is instrumental in ensuring that each product aligns precisely with its labelled cannabinoid content.
Unbiased Validation: Third-Party Lab Testing
At XLR8 Delta, we prioritise transparency. Our products undergo rigorous third-party lab testing for unbiased validation of quality, safety, and regulatory compliance. This ensures you can trust the accuracy and excellence of every XLR8 Delta product.
