Cannabinoid

Cannabinoid Profiling

Analysis is performed by Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatography (UPLC) peak separation followed by ultraviolet (UV) peak detection and spectral wavelength confirmation against an in-house cannabinoid reference library. Chromatographic data are processed by quantitatively comparing peak areas against calibration curves prepared from certified reference standards.

  • Standard cannabinoid panel includes:
      Δ9-THC, THCA, THCV, CBD, CBDA, CBDV, CBDVA, CBG, CBGA, CBC, CBN, Δ8-THC, exo-THC
  • Compliance testing.
    – Total THC < 0.3% (based on dry weight)

  • Extended panels
    CBT, CBL, CBE
    THC isomers  Δ8-THC, Δ9-THC, Δ10-THC, Δ11-THC, Δ6a 10a-THC
    High sensitivity by LCMS – Limit of detection to ~ 1 ppm
    Identification of synthetic cannabinoids
    – THCO (Δ8 and Δ9), HHC, THCB,    THCP
  • Chiral chromatography (SFC)
    – Stereoisomers and enantiomers
  • Orthogonal evaluations
    – GCFID, GCMS, SFC
