ChowIndex is the public risk index for hemp, THCA, intoxicating-hemp and synthetic-cannabinoid products sold across all 50 U.S. states. When a brand uploads a Certificate of Analysis bearing your lab's name, it lands in your inbound sign-off queue — to approve, dispute, or flag as forged in one click. Your decision shapes the seller's public risk score, alerts regulators in their state, and pages every bank, processor, or insurer who has them on a watchlist.
Every COA attributed to your lab — approve, dispute, or mark forged in one click.
Stop bad actors from attaching your QR codes or signature blocks to products you never tested.
Push every COA event into your LIMS, Slack, Teams, or GRC platform — sub-minute latency, HMAC signed.
A signed lab profile increases visibility on every product page that cites your tests.
We don't hide capabilities behind sales calls. Here is the complete list of what your lab account unlocks the moment you verify your email.
Every COA citing your lab is auto-routed to a single inbox with pagination, search, and bulk action.
Confirm a COA you genuinely produced. Status is timestamped and visible publicly on the product page.
Mark a COA as inaccurate or tampered — drops the seller's risk score and alerts state regulators.
Mark a COA as forged — flags every other product citing it, triggers fraud alerts to controllers, and starts an audit log.
Each inbound PDF is hashed and OCR-compared to legitimate COAs you've signed, surfacing similarity scores.
QR codes on product packaging that point to your domain are auto-cross-referenced with your queue.
Optional CoC fields per COA — sample ID, intake date, analyst, retention status.
Native fields for Δ8/Δ9/Δ10/HHC/THC-O/THCP/THCV/CBD/CBG/CBN/CBC + heavy metals, pesticides, residual solvents, mycotoxins, microbials.
Set per-test expiry windows; expired COAs auto-flag the linked products as out-of-date.
Register every legal name, DBA, accreditation alias and historical brand — all routed to one queue.
A short DNS TXT record (or email-link) confirms the lab domain — locks out impersonators.
Upload accreditation cert → upgraded to highest-trust badge displayed on every product page.
Track every state-issued cannabis-testing license attached to your facility(ies).
SEO-indexed page listing your accreditation, panels offered, and approved COA count.
Whitelist authorized signatory names — auto-flag any COA signed by someone not on the roster.
HMAC-SHA256 signed JSON events for every COA action — retries with exponential backoff & dead-letter queue.
Pre-built connectors for LabWare, Qbench, Confident Cannabis & generic LIMS via REST.
Instant channel posts when a forgery is flagged or a high-value seller is disputed.
Read every COA event, submit signed approvals, query identity matches.
Bulk export your full COA queue or audit trail for SOC-2 evidence packs.
SAML/OIDC SSO with Okta, Azure AD, Google Workspace, JumpCloud.
Instant or batched alerts per analyst, per panel type, per priority.
Configurable digest cadence so analysts aren't paged for every minor event.
Refute / forgery decisions auto-page state regulators subscribed to the seller's jurisdiction.
Every signed-off (or refuted) COA directly updates the seller's public ChowIndex risk score in real time.
Every action timestamped, user-attributed, and CSV-exportable — defensible for accreditation audits.

Submit your lab business name, work email at your lab's domain, and an optional ISO/IEC 17025 certificate number.
One-click email verification, or add a DNS TXT record for the highest-trust tier.
Add every DBA, alias, accreditation name and historical brand so legacy COAs are routed correctly.

ChowIndex Lab Portal is a SaaS compliance workspace for cannabis, hemp, THCA and CBD testing laboratories. Every Certificate of Analysis uploaded to ChowIndex that cites your lab's name is automatically routed to your sign-off queue, where you can approve, dispute, or flag it as forged. Your decisions directly update the public risk score of the brand whose product was tested.
Yes. Claiming your lab and signing off on inbound COAs is free forever. Paid tiers (Lab Pro and Lab Enterprise) unlock outbound HMAC-signed webhooks, LIMS push, REST API access, multi-user seats, custom SLA, and dedicated forgery investigation support.
No. Any cannabis, hemp or THCA testing facility can claim a profile. Verified ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation upgrades you to the highest-trust badge tier, which is displayed on every product page that cites your lab's COAs.
When a seller uploads a COA bearing your lab's name, address, signature block, or QR code, the file lands in your inbound queue with a hash, OCR diff and similarity score. One click marks it as forged — that decision instantly:
(1) drops the seller's risk score, (2) flags every other product citing the same forged COA, (3) alerts state regulators in the seller's jurisdiction, and (4) notifies financial controllers (banks, processors, insurers) who have that seller on their watchlist.
Yes. Refute and forgery actions are pushed in real time to subscribed state regulators in the seller's business state through the ChowIndex Regulator Portal. Federal regulators receive only sign-up confirmations per their monitoring-only subscription tier.
Yes. The Lab Pro and Enterprise tiers expose HMAC-signed outbound webhooks for every COA event (created, approved, refuted, forged, expired). Push directly into LabWare, Confident Cannabis, Qbench, custom LIMS, Slack, Microsoft Teams, or any HTTPS endpoint.
Email verification is automatic via a domain-link click. Lab status is set to pending until our team confirms accreditation (typically under one business day). You can begin reviewing your inbound COA queue immediately in read-only mode while pending.
All 50 U.S. states plus D.C. ChowIndex tracks hemp, THCA, Delta-8, Delta-9, Delta-10, HHC, THC-O, THCP, THCV, CBD, CBG, CBN, CBC and synthetic cannabinoid products across every state-legal jurisdiction. Lab signoff applies nationally.
Confident Cannabis and Metrc are seed-to-sale tracking platforms used inside state-regulated cannabis programs. ChowIndex is a public risk index for the hemp / THCA / intoxicating-hemp side of the market that is shipped interstate via e-commerce. We do not replace your LIMS or state track-and-trace — we surface every COA that bears your name in the wild and give you a one-click way to defend your brand.
Yes. The Identity Claims feature lets you register every legal name, DBA, accreditation alias and historical brand under one account, so a COA that uses any of those names is routed to the correct sign-off queue.
The federal 2018 Farm Bill removed hemp-derived cannabinoids containing less than 0.3% delta-9 THC from the Controlled Substances Act, but it left a regulatory vacuum on the consumer-product side. Today, intoxicating hemp products — Delta-8 THC, Delta-10 THC, HHC, THC-O, THCP, THCV and high-potency THCA flower — ship interstate by the thousands every day. Every one of those products carries a Certificate of Analysis. Most of those COAs are real. A meaningful percentage are not.
ChowIndex Lab Portal exists so accredited cannabis and hemp testing labs can defend their reputation against the forged COAs that flood the market. Whether you are an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited lab in Oregon, a state-licensed cannabis testing facility in California, a hemp-focused lab in North Carolina, or a contract analytical chemistry shop in New York that occasionally tests cannabinoids — if your lab name appears on a product label, it should appear in your Lab Portal queue.
Every COA record in ChowIndex supports the full cannabinoid spectrum (Δ8-THC, Δ9-THC, Δ10-THC, HHC, THC-O, THCP, THCV, CBD, CBG, CBN, CBC, plus minor and synthetic cannabinoids), all standard contaminant panels (heavy metals, pesticides, residual solvents, mycotoxins, microbials, foreign matter, water activity, moisture), terpene profiles, and chain-of-custody fields. Whether you upload PDF COAs, structured JSON, or push directly from your LIMS, ChowIndex parses them into the same canonical schema.
Unclaimed lab profiles are still indexed publicly on ChowIndex — meaning your lab's name is showing up on product pages right now, with no way for you to defend it. Claiming the profile takes 60 seconds. It unlocks one-click sign-off, gives you a public verified badge, and ensures any future COA forgery attempt is immediately routed to your inbox. The product page risk score visible to consumers, regulators, banks and insurers is materially affected by whether a credible lab has signed-off on the COA backing that product.
If you're a lab director, QA manager, or accreditation officer evaluating COA compliance software for intoxicating hemp, THCA, Delta-8 or synthetic cannabinoid products — sign up free above, claim your inbound queue, and see in real time which products in the U.S. market are leaning on your lab's name.
Stop forged COAs riding on your lab's reputation. Free to start.
