$150 covers every product category the rule tests without a residual solvents panel. Product extracted with butane, propane or ethanol, and any concentrate with ingredients added, carries the solvents panel and runs $185. Existing PREE customers pay the secondary rate or their current rate, whichever is lower.

The Cannabis Control Division has confirmed that NMS2S does not currently assign pesticide testing to infused pre-rolls or infused cannabis material made from two inputs that each passed. We perform and bill the panel the system assigns. The Division has said it intends to update the system, so treat that as current rather than permanent.

Final Product and Secondary Testing

The Cannabis Control Division amended 16.8.7 NMAC, Section 15 effective August 31, 2026. What changed, what it costs, and what the Division has confirmed in writing.

Does it need its own panel?

Assumes the material you started from carries a passing Certificate of Analysis. Prices are per sample.

* When both inputs passed, NMS2S does not currently assign pesticides to this panel. We bill the panel the system assigns.

How we interpret the changes

The panel follows the rolling, not the selling. Whoever processes the product owes the panel. Buy pre-rolls already made and packaged by a producer and you are not retesting anything, their panel covers it. Roll them yourself and the panel is yours.

One panel, not two. Pre-rolls made from bulk flower need a panel of their own, because the flower's Certificate of Analysis does not carry over and the rolling itself can introduce something the flower panel never saw. Packaging the finished pre-rolls does not trigger a second panel.

Two conditions, both have to hold. Under 16.8.7.15(E), product acquired from another licensee is exempt from retesting only while the batch is in present form and its Certificate of Analysis is under 90 days old. The 90 days runs from the issue date printed on the source COA. Change the form or run out the clock and the exemption is gone.

A pre-roll run is one batch. The 15 pound batch cap applies to harvested flower. A manufactured product batch is defined by one strain, one protocol and one production window, not by weight, so a large run is one panel. Separate runs are separate batches.

Rolling in house requires manufacturing licensure. A retail only license cannot make pre-rolls. If a required panel never happens there is no citation, the product simply cannot be sold.

Pesticides, answered. The Division confirmed the rule requires pesticides on every category, including concentrate with added ingredients, and that the old exemption is gone. It also confirmed NMS2S was built before the amendment and does not currently assign pesticides to infused pre-rolls or infused cannabis material made from two inputs that each passed. Laboratories perform the panel the system assigns. The Division intends to update the system.

This page reflects 16.8.7 NMAC as adopted effective August 31, 2026 and written answers PREE Laboratories received from Cannabis Control Division staff in September 2026. It is general information, not legal or compliance advice, and it will change as the Division updates NMS2S or answers our remaining questions. We will update this page when it does. For how the rules apply to your license, contact the CCD at (505) 476-4995.

What We Test and Why It Matters

Every test we run follows NM Cannabis Control Division requirements and is performed by our trained analytical team using validated methods.

⚗️

Potency Analysis

Using High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), we quantify 13+ cannabinoids including THC, THCA, CBD, CBDA, CBG, CBN, and CBC. Accurate potency data is required on every product label sold in New Mexico and directly impacts how your product is priced and perceived by consumers.

🔬

Microbiology Testing

We screen for pathogenic microorganisms using quantitative PCR (qPCR), the gold standard for detection speed and accuracy. Our panel covers Aspergillus species (A. fumigatus, A. flavus, A. niger, A. terreus), Salmonella, Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC), and Listeria. A single failed micro test can pull a batch from shelves. We help you catch it first.

🌿

Pesticide Screening

Our LC-MS/MS platform screens for 22+ pesticide compounds including organophosphates, pyrethroids, carbamates, and fungicides. NM requires all cannabis to pass pesticide testing before sale. Our methods detect residues at parts-per-billion levels, protecting consumers and keeping your operation compliant.

💨

Residual Solvents

For concentrates, oils, and extracts processed with chemical solvents, our headspace GC-MS analysis screens for 15+ compounds including butane, propane, ethanol, hexane, benzene, and heptane. Residual solvent limits are strictly enforced in NM. This test is mandatory for any solvent-based extract before it can be sold.

🍋

Terpene Profiling

We identify and quantify 23+ terpenes including myrcene, limonene, caryophyllene, linalool, pinene, and terpinolene using GC-MS analysis. Terpene data distinguishes your cultivar, informs buyers about aroma and effect, and adds significant value to your certificate of analysis.

We'll come to you. COMING SOON

Our sample pickup service is launching later this month. We'll arrange collection directly from your facility, anywhere within 100 miles of Las Cruces, so you never have to leave the grow. We plan to serve producers across Doña Ana, Luna, Otero, Sierra, and Hidalgo counties.

Interested? Call (575) 556-9026 to get on the list and we'll reach out when scheduling opens.

Hemp testing. Ship from anywhere.

Hemp is federally legal and can be shipped interstate. We accept samples from producers and processors in any state, with the same accredited results and fast turnaround we provide locally.
