Revol LIMS gives you automated COA generation, multi-state compliance configuration, ISO 17025-ready audit trails, and direct instrument integration — in one platform.
Analytical testing in the cannabis and hemp space is more than just science; it’s a high-stakes regulatory race. Whether you are operating from one location or a multi-state enterprise, the pressure is constant:
Manual reporting is a liability. Revol LIMS has the capability to integrate with major regulatory databases, including METRC, BioTrackTHC, LEAF and other state-specific systems.
Go beyond manual result review. Revol LIMS applies configurable specification limits to every result as it is entered — automatically flagging Out-of-Specification (OOS) and Out-of-Trend (OOT) values before they reach the approval stage.
Your LIMS is a sales tool. Provide your cultivators, processors, and manufacturers with a premium experience that keeps them coming back:
The market is evolving. Your LIMS should handle more than just flower.
Across the cannabis industry, laboratory teams consistently face the same operational and compliance challenges:
Labs spending hours compiling COAs manually from multiple instrument outputs, spreadsheets, and templates — creating transcription errors and regulatory risk.
Samples handed off between teams with no centralised chain-of-custody record. Lost samples, delayed releases, and failed audits are the result.
Regulatory requirements differ by state, territory, and country. Without a LIMS managing these rules, compliance depends entirely on individual knowledge — a fragile, audit-vulnerable position.
HPLC, GC-MS, ICP-MS, and other instruments produce data in isolation. Without integration, results are manually re-entered — doubling the work and the error rate.
Inability to trace a batch from raw material receipt through processing and testing to distribution creates recall risk and regulatory exposure.
As sample volumes grow, manual and patchwork systems buckle. Labs that grew fast on spreadsheets eventually hit a ceiling where throughput, quality, and compliance all suffer simultaneously.
The cannabis industry is regulated at multiple levels simultaneously — federal frameworks (where applicable), state or territory licensing requirements, international standards, and accreditation requirements for testing labs. Revol LIMS is built on a foundation of international regulatory standards, ensuring your lab is always audit-ready for:
| Standard / Regulation | How Revol LIMS Supports Compliance |
|---|---|
| ISO 17025 | Accreditation-aligned workflows, method management, proficiency test tracking, and document control for cannabis testing laboratories seeking or maintaining ISO 17025 accreditation. |
| ASTM D8228 | Standard practice compliance for cannabis testing — sampling, chain-of-custody, and data integrity controls aligned to the ASTM framework. |
| cGMP / GMP | SOP enforcement, electronic batch records, OOS investigation workflows, and audit-trail-driven batch release for cannabis manufacturing operations. |
| State Licensing Requirements | Configurable workflows, test panels, and reporting formats aligned to the specific requirements of individual US and Canada cannabis regulatory programmes. |
| Seed-to-Sale Traceability | Integration support for state-mandated track-and-trace platforms (Metrc, BioTrackTHC, LEAF). Revol LIMS maintains the laboratory data layer that completes the traceability picture. |
| Data Integrity (ALCOA+) | All data in Revol LIMS is Attributable, Legible, Contemporaneous, Original, and Accurate. Electronic signatures, audit trails, and change logs satisfy regulators across all jurisdictions. |
| 21 CFR Part 11 (where applicable) | For cannabis organisations with FDA-adjacent operations or those seeking pharmaceutical-grade laboratory management standards, Revol LIMS supports electronic records and signature requirements. |
| Health Canada (CALA) | Full alignment with Canadian cannabis testing mandates. |
| FSMA & USDA Hemp | Specialized support for federal hemp mandates and food safety standards for infused products. |
Built on regulated-industry compliance principles used across pharmaceutical, petrochemical, and mining laboratories worldwide — applied specifically to the needs of cannabis testing labs in the US and Canada.
ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accreditation is the global benchmark for competence and reliability in cannabis and hemp testing. Labs must demonstrate rigorous quality assurance, complete sample-to-result traceability, and well-documented quality processes to satisfy accreditation bodies and earn client trust. Revol LIMS comes with a built-in Quality Management System (QMS) that helps cannabis and hemp testing labs stay compliant with ISO 17025 requirements and remain inspection-ready at all times.
| Feature | Revol LIMS | Legacy Vendors |
|---|---|---|
| Configuration | No-Code / Low-Code Update panels and action limits in minutes without IT support. | Requires custom coding or expensive vendor consultations for every change. |
| Intelligence | AI-Driven Predictive anomaly detection catches errors before they happen. | Reactive systems that only flag errors after they are entered. |
| Integrations | Plug-and-Play Built-in APIs for METRC and leading instruments (Agilent, Shimadzu, etc.). | Often require third-party middleware or manual CSV uploads. |
| Architecture | Cloud-Native Secure, scalable, and accessible from any device or lab location. | Often rely on dated on-premise servers with limited remote access. |
| Implementation Time | 3–4 Months: Rapid deployment via proven implementation methodology and technical expertise. | 9–12 Months: Protracted timelines involving heavy custom coding and onsite consulting. |
Revol LIMS gives testing labs the infrastructure to know, at any point, that their data is defensible, their COAs are traceable, and their accreditation is not at risk.

Yes. Revol LIMS automates COA generation entirely — once test results are verified and approved in the system, a fully structured, branded COA is produced without manual compilation. COAs can be delivered digitally to clients, distributors, or regulators and are permanently archived in the system with full audit traceability.
Revol LIMS is designed with integration in mind. The system supports data exchange with state-mandated track-and-trace platforms including Metrc, BioTrackTHC, LEAF and Data Systems. Laboratory test results and batch release data can be synchronised to ensure complete regulatory traceability from laboratory to point of sale.
Revol LIMS supports bi-directional integration with the full range of analytical instruments used in cannabis testing, including HPLC and UHPLC systems (potency, terpenes), GC-MS and GC-MS/MS (pesticides, residual solvents, terpenes), ICP-MS and ICP-OES (heavy metals), LC-MS/MS (mycotoxins, pesticides), and moisture analysers. Instrument results transfer directly into the LIMS without manual re-entry, eliminating transcription errors entirely.
Yes. Revol LIMS is designed to support the operational requirements of ISO 17025 accredited laboratories, including method management, proficiency test sample tracking, measurement uncertainty documentation, equipment calibration records, and document control. Our workflows align to the ISO 17025:2017 standard and can be configured to meet accreditation body requirements.
Yes. Revol LIMS features configurable test panels and regulatory templates that can be set up for the specific required analytes, action limits, and reporting formats mandated by each state's cannabis regulatory programme. As regulations evolve, panels and limits can be updated centrally without disrupting ongoing operations.
Yes. Revol LIMS includes a full electronic signature framework with role-based approval workflows. Analysts, supervisors, and QA personnel can sign off on results, COAs, batch records, and instrument logs electronically. All signatures are time-stamped, audit-trailed, and cannot be altered after the fact — meeting the requirements of GMP and data integrity frameworks applicable to cannabis manufacturing.
