From Pharmaceutical to Flower
At ChRi Labs, our story begins where most cannabis labs don’t—with pharmaceutical science. Founded in 2010, we were built to serve as an independent, FDA-registered analytical laboratory, supporting drug development with the rigor and objectivity it demands. Over the years, we earned the trust of medical device manufacturers, nutraceutical brands, and some of the region’s largest pharmaceutical companies. The work was precise, high-stakes, and deeply technical—focused on detecting the smallest impurities in complex formulations. That foundation wasn’t just about compliance. It was about discipline. And it shaped everything that followed.
When the world changed, so did we. During the pandemic, our expertise expanded across a wider range of matrices as we worked alongside leading dietary supplement and wellness companies navigating unprecedented regulatory scrutiny. That period deepened our capability—and sharpened our purpose. In collaboration with Minnesota’s most forward-thinking operators, we found a natural extension of our work in cannabis. Not because it was new, but because it needed to be done right. With methodical care. With proven systems. And with the same expectations of accuracy and consistency long required in pharmaceutical development.
Today, ChRi Labs is focused almost entirely on cannabis, medical cannabis, and hemp—bringing pharmaceutical-grade discipline to an industry that demands better. We don’t come from cannabis culture. We come from clinical science. And we believe that matters. Our lab operates at the intersection of what the market wants and what the science requires. As the industry matures, so will the expectations for testing. We’re here for that future—built on trust, validated methods, and the quiet certainty that precision still matters.
The difference is in the detail
Most labs test for compliance. We test for confidence.
At ChRi Labs, our roots in pharmaceutical science shape everything we do—from validated methods and controlled environments to how we handle your sample the moment it arrives. We bring a mindset of precision, because we’ve lived in industries where the margin for error is zero.
While others focus solely on throughput, we focus on accuracy, repeatability, and real-world applicability. Our instruments are calibrated daily. Our methods are refined across complex matrices. And our team doesn’t just follow protocols—they build them. This is the standard we hold ourselves to, not because it's easy, but because it's necessary.
You won’t always see the difference. But your results will.
Know what you're made of.
We didn’t pivot into cannabis—we evolved into it. Decades of analytical rigor shaped how we see the plant, and we bring that same depth to every test, every matrix, every result. When precision matters, ChRi Labs is where Minnesota’s most serious producers turn.
