01 · What we test

Six assays. One AKA-GMP receipt.

Kratom is one of the most contamination-prone botanicals on the market. Our panels match the American Kratom Association standard plus heavy metals and pesticides.

01
HPLC-UV

Alkaloid profile

Mitragynine, 7-hydroxymitragynine, speciogynine, paynantheine, corynantheidine quantified and reported as % by mass.

LOD 0.02 % · 3–4 days
02
ICP-MS

Heavy metals

Pb, As, Cd, Hg — full 4-panel to USP <232> limits. Required for AKA-GMP and most state laws.

LOD < 10 ppb · 4–5 days
03
USP <61>

Microbial enumeration

Total aerobic, yeast/mold, enterobacteriaceae, Salmonella, E. coli — the AKA pathogen panel.

LOD 10¹ CFU/g · 5–7 days
04
LC-MS/MS

Pesticide residues

66-analyte pesticide screen including glyphosate, organophosphates, carbamates, and pyrethroids.

LOD 10 ppb · 5–6 days
05
LC-MS/MS

Mycotoxins

Aflatoxin B1/B2/G1/G2, ochratoxin A. Essential for leaf stored in humid conditions.

LOD 1 ppb · 5–6 days
06
Gravim.

Moisture & ash

Loss-on-drying, total ash, acid-insoluble ash — quality markers for leaf freshness and adulteration.

LOD 0.1 % · 2–3 days

Alkaloids we quantify.

Common failure modes by alkaloid, drawn from AKA GMP audit data and published industry surveillance. Use it to benchmark your supplier's testing scope against the risk vectors that matter.

Mitragynine
C₂₃H₃₀N₂O₄ · MW 398.49
Medium risk
Pass = label claim ±10 %. Low-bulk powder commonly under-labels.
7-OH Mitragynine
C₂₃H₃₀N₂O₅ · MW 414.49
High risk
The potent minor alkaloid. Spiked extracts routinely exceed 0.05 % ceiling.
Speciogynine
C₂₃H₃₀N₂O₄ · MW 398.49
Medium risk
Isomer of mitragynine. Useful strain-authenticity marker.
Paynantheine
C₂₃H₂₈N₂O₄ · MW 396.47
Low risk
Secondary alkaloid. Falling profile suggests oxidized or aged leaf.
Corynantheidine
C₂₂H₂₈N₂O₃ · MW 368.47
Medium risk
Partial mu-agonist. Trace quantification for full alkaloid signature.
Mitragynine pseudo.
C₂₃H₃₀N₂O₄ · MW 398.49
High risk
Heat-degradation marker. Elevated in over-dried or torrefied leaf.
04 · Compliance

AKA-GMP, USP, and state-law ready.

Our kratom methods validate against the frameworks your retailer and state will audit against.

AKA-GMP
American Kratom Association GMP

Standard Operating Procedures 12 and 13 require mitragynine quantification, 7-OH ceiling of 2 % of total alkaloids, heavy metal panel, and microbial/pathogen screen. Our 'AKA-GMP Standard' panel hits all four.

USP <232>
Elemental impurities

Permitted daily exposure limits for Pb, Cd, As, Hg. We report in µg/g and compare directly to the oral product PDE.

USP <61/62>
Microbial enumeration & specified pathogens

Total aerobic count ≤ 10⁵ CFU/g, yeast/mold ≤ 10³ CFU/g, absence of Salmonella and E. coli in 10 g — the reference limits we test against.

State laws
Kratom Consumer Protection Act (KCPA)

Active in Utah, Arizona, Nevada, Georgia, Colorado, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Florida. Every state with KCPA mandates the AKA-GMP-equivalent testing we perform.

Yes. 7-hydroxymitragynine is quantified on every panel. AKA-GMP requires 7-OH stay ≤ 2 % of total alkaloid content — we report both absolute and relative values so you can audit against either threshold.
