Light Labs
A food and supplement testing platform combining lab services and compliance reporting
Light Labs provides a food and supplement testing platform combining lab services and compliance reporting.
Overview
Light Labs runs an ISO 17025 accredited testing laboratory and a software platform for food and supplement brands. Brands order tests for contaminants such as heavy metals, pesticides and glyphosate, send samples, and see results in one dashboard. It helps brands track compliance with limits and rules such as AB 899 and publish verified results to customers.
For Shopify brands
- The Product Insight Panel embeds on product pages to show test results for active ingredients, contaminants and purity.
- Orders, sample tracking, certificates of analysis and CSV data exports all sit in one dashboard.
- Results can be tied to regulatory or internal limits, and out-of-spec results are retested automatically.
How it works
A brand chooses tests, sends samples to the Light Labs lab in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and gets results in its dashboard with live sample tracking. Tests the lab can't run in-house go to partner labs. Routine results take 3 days, heavy metals 1-3 days, and pesticides, BPA/BPS and glyphosate 3-5 days.
