How we count tests

133 lab panels: 28 electrolyte panels, 63 THC potency panels, 21 pesticide screens, and 21 residual-solvent screens. Each product, laboratory, and panel counts once; triplicate repeats and the fourth THC laboratory are excluded. Separate heavy-metal panels are not included because their count is not documented in the published tables.
