Primary Post (10 points): If you were starting a dispensary or farm, would you want to do your own in-house analytical testing or send it out to an external laboratory? In your response, estimate the costs of instrument acquisition and in-house operation and compare to “cost per sample” prices from an external service. How many samples would you need to run to “break even”? What would it cost to hire a full-time, in-house analytical chemist?
Response Post (5 points): Do you agree or respectfully disagree with the viewpoint of the author of the primary post? Provide further evidence to support your response.
