Certificate of Analysis (COA) Testing Dashboard
Every batch of kratom undergoes rigorous third-party laboratory testing to ensure safety and quality. Our comprehensive testing program includes thorough analysis of microbial content, heavy metals, and alkaloid profiles. Below you will find available testing results for all current batches in our inventory.
Microbial Testing
Ensures product safety by screening for harmful microorganisms using AOAC standard methods:
- Total Plate Count (APC): < 100,000 - 500,000 CFU/g
- Yeast & Mold Count: < 10,000 - 100,000 CFU/g
- Coliform Count: 15,000 - < 50,000 CFU/g
- E. coli & Salmonella: Negative
Understanding Microbial Limits
Microbial limits are established to ensure product safety while acknowledging the natural presence of microorganisms in botanical materials.
| Test | Industry Standard | Our Premium Limit | Risk Level |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total Plate Count | < 500,000 CFU/g | < 100,000 CFU/g | Low-Medium |
| Yeast & Mold | < 100,000 CFU/g | < 10,000 CFU/g* | Low-Medium |
| Total Coliforms | < 50,000 CFU/g | < 15,000 CFU/g* | Medium |
| E. coli (pathogenic) | Absent | Absent | High |
| Salmonella | Absent | Absent | High |
* Except for fermented strains where higher levels are expected and acceptable
Sources for Microbial Limits
- Total Plate Count: AHPA "Microbial Guidelines for Botanical Materials" (2016)
- Yeast & Mold: USP <2021> guidelines
- Coliforms: FDA BAM Ch. 4 recommendations
- Pathogen Absence: FDA guidelines (21 CFR Part 111)
Our premium limits are set more conservatively than industry standards to ensure the highest quality products.
Special Note on Fermented Strains
Certain varieties like Gold Bali undergo controlled fermentation, resulting in naturally higher microbial counts while remaining safe for consumption.
- Total Plate Count: < 500,000 CFU/g
- Yeast & Mold: < 100,000 CFU/g
- Total Coliforms: < 50,000 CFU/g
Heavy Metals Analysis
Uses ICP-MS technology to detect trace amounts:
- Arsenic (As): < 1.0 mg/kg
- Cadmium (Cd): < 0.41 mg/kg
- Lead (Pb): < 1.5 mg/kg
- Mercury (Hg): < 0.20 mg/kg
Alkaloid Content
Measures % of active alkaloids using HPLC:
- Mitragynine
- 7-OH-Mitragynine
Ensures consistent potency and quality.
Understanding Alkaloid Content
Alkaloids are naturally occurring compounds measured using HPLC analysis.
| Alkaloid | Typical Range | Method | Significance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mitragynine | 0.5% - 2.0% | HPLC | Primary active |
| 7-OH-Mitragynine | 0.001% - 0.05% | HPLC | Secondary active |
Alkaloid Variation: Content varies naturally due to harvest time, growing region, strain type, and processing method.
