Kratom Alkaloid Profile Expanded, Validated safety testing

Nov 29, 2021

Columbia Laboratories offers reliable, comprehensive contaminant and quality Kratom testing with an 8-business day turnaround time.

Kratom Potency Testing

Kratom quality, or “potency,” is measured by quantitation of distinct alkaloids. Kratom “potency” testing can be performed on a variety of matrices, from leaf material and extracts to tinctures and gummies.

As of 2021, Columbia Labs has expanded the Kratom Potency Profile to include all the known alkaloids for Kratom quality testing.

The following alkaloids are now available, individually, or as the full potency profile:

  1. Mitragynine
  2. 7-hydroxymitragynine
  3. Isorhynchophylline
  4. Speciociliatine
  5. Paynantheine
  6. Mitraphylline
  7. Speciogynine

Kratom Safety Testing

Kratom is an imported botanical ingredient, rising in popularity in the USA, but currently on the FDA watchlist. Guidance documents for best manufacturing practices are available through AHPA. It is highly recommended to conduct contaminants testing for all Kratom products, including:

  • Pathogens: Salmonella and Shiga Toxin- producing E.Coli, Listeria spp.
  • Indicator organisms: Yeast and Mold, Aerobic Plate Count
  • Heavy Metals: Arsenic, Lead, Cadmium, Mercury, Nickel

Additional safety testing available at Columbia Laboratories:

  • Mycotoxins
  • Pesticides
  • Solvents (USP)
