CHAPTER I
More than a Certificate of Analysis — a partnership engineered for your longevity in this industry, and the safety of every consumer who trusts your product.
Since 2018, Oklahoma & New Mexico cannabis businesses have trusted Scissortail to test their products. We're committed to improving the industry as regulations evolve — producing the quality of data that keeps your company, and our industry, legitimate.
Testing cannabis is more than putting samples on instruments. It's understanding the matrix, calibrating the instruments to find the compounds of interest, and applying a detailed quality program with end-to-end sample tracking.
When you have questions about your samples or our testing, we'll never pass you off to an account manager. Lab Director Ian Cameron is only a phone call away — every question, no matter how big or small.
We promise to elevate the quality of testing in this industry by handling and analyzing every sample with trusted methodology and good science — a tight-knit team at each location working together to efficiently and correctly analyze your samples.
“We provide more than just a Certificate of Analysis. We work with each client to ensure their longevity in this industry — and the safety of every cannabis consumer who trusts the product.”

CHAPTER VI
Five dedicated specialists across analytical chemistry, microbiology, and plant biology — running every panel by hand at our OKC facility.
Founder · Laboratory Director
B.A. Molecular Biology, Humboldt State '95
Founded Scissortail in 2018 after SQ788 passed in Oklahoma. Previously National Laboratory Director for cannabis testing labs on the West Coast, with nearly 25 years in the environmental testing space prior.
Assistant Laboratory Director
B.S. Biology, University of Central Oklahoma
In cannabis analytical testing since 2018. Experience across nearly all analytical technologies — brings focused, motivated energy to every panel that crosses the bench.
Laboratory Manager
B.S. Plant Molecular Biology, UT Austin
Joined Scissortail in 2022 from cannabis production and plant nursery environments. Worked as a plant genetics research assistant at UT Austin. Meets regulatory requirements while exceeding client expectations.
Microbiology Technical Director
B.S. Biology, University of Oklahoma
In cannabis since 2018. Her passion for elevating plant science in the cannabis industry has built Scissortail's microbiology department far beyond compliance testing.

CHAPTER VII
A scientist on a mission to bring genuine analytical rigor to the cannabis industry — one panel, one client, one consumer at a time.
Ian earned his B.A. in Molecular Biology from Humboldt State University in 1995. From there, he moved to Albuquerque and joined a startup environmental analysis laboratory — climbing from bench chemist to technical director, to assistant lab manager, and serving as QA/QC Officer as the lab established itself as the leading analytical operation in New Mexico.
In 2015, Ian and his wife relocated to her hometown of Norman, Oklahoma. He took on the role of National Laboratory Director for a startup cannabis testing laboratory, commuting between Norman and labs in Oregon and California.
When Oklahoma's SQ788 passed in 2018, Ian saw the opening to build something on his own terms — a laboratory that would offer Oklahomans the trusted, accurate analytical services he believed every consumer deserved. Scissortail was founded that year.
Today, that vision has expanded into Ian's family's home state of New Mexico — delivering the same trusted analytical data to its recreational and medical markets, from the same hand that started it all.
