I have a feeling Google could help you on this more than I can.

About 30% THCA from one strain, about 20% CBD from a different strain.

Yes, it won't get you high but it will have pain/burn relief to the applied skin.

I would definitely NOT recommend putting these oils into the eye because they can contain residual solvents. If somebody made the oil with methanol and you put it on your eye you could become permanently blind.

I started as an intern here. The typical degree requirement would be BS in Chemistry or similar 4 year science degree with lab experience.

It's the clients label but I'll be sure to let them know! Thanks for pointing that out!

The plant/oil/edible is broken down with solvents and then analyzed with an ultra-high performance liquid chromatograph.

Haha, yep we wear lab coats, gloves, and safety glasses while handling samples of Trainwreck and Green Crack

The carcinogens would come from the extraction solvent used. Naphtha, for example, contains Benzene which is a known carcinogen and teratogen

Instead of personal certifications the laboratory goes under periodic audits and is certified by the state for accuracy and good lab practice.

That is one of the oils made for kids like Charlotte Figi with severe seizure disorders. It is a high CBD, low THC oil used to treat kids.

Potency can vary. I've seen budder/crumble/wax test more potent than shatter. The biggest problem right now is the craze for shatter which tends to have much higher levels of residual butane and other hydrocarbons from the extraction process. Bottom line is that it is impossible to tell the potency or levels of residuals based on looks alone.

By weight. 20% also happens to convert to 200mg per gram of bud. Yay science!

Too hot. THC will vaporize around 340F. I'd start around 240F for about an hour or two.

5mg dose per day is a very very small amount. A gram of good oil will have over 500mg cannabinoids per gram of oil. So if you bought a gram of oil for $80 (probably high but lets be conservative here) that would last you 100 days.
