Test Benefits

Terpenes are naturally produced compounds that influence the aromas, flavors, and effects felt from using the cannabis product. Their differences can be subtle, but terpenes can add great depth to the horticultural art and connoisseurship of cannabis.

Many terpenes have very similar structures, so Encore Labs utilizes a powerful mass spectrometer to differentiate each one.
