Why results vary
Results can differ because of sampling, plant part, moisture, storage, lab method and normal measurement uncertainty.
Conflicting results
When two COAs disagree, the first questions are whether the samples are the same material and whether the results are reported on the same basis.
Results near a threshold
Near a legal or contractual threshold, uncertainty and method can determine which side of the line a result falls on.
