Phytochemical Testing
Phytochemical testing encompasses laboratory analysis of cannabis plant compounds, including cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids. These tests employ techniques like HPLC, GC-MS, and LC-MS to quantify and identify volatile and non-volatile constituents in plant material. Testing serves as an objective record of genetic expression and environmental influence on a cultivar's chemical profile. Lineage records frequently incorporate phytochemical data to document trait consistency across generations. This scientific approach to characterization forms the foundation of modern cannabis breeding documentation and seed bank cataloging.

Breeders use phytochemical testing data to verify genetic stability, identify chemotype variations within a line, and track how environmental conditions affect expression of target compounds. Testing results inform selection decisions and help establish phenotypic baselines for future breeding work.
