App Notes

Industrial destruction equipment designed to shred and grind cannabis waste enables labs and growers to render it unusable and unrecognizable.

For this study, cannabis was ground to varying particle sizes using a precision milling system, along with other, less sophisticated, milling methods to study the effects.

Under federal law, cannabis is a Schedule 1 drug, so its remnants may be considered hazardous waste. This whitepaper details which states have established laws and regulations, three general disposal requirements, and how companies help the industry stay compliant.

Three approaches to HPLC analysis of 17 cannabinoids optimized for speed with high resolution, reduced solvent consumption, or low pressure.

This application note demonstrates the CEM MARS 6 for microwave digestion of mixed cannabis and hemp containing products in a single run and elemental analysis of these products.

States that have legalized cannabis use also have a zero tolerance workplace drug policy that usually requires a urine test of known metabolites of THC.

The Microlab® 600 Diluter/Dispenser makes measurements morereliable, allows the method to use less consumables, and cuts down on preparation time.

This application note demonstrates the CEM MARS 6 for microwave digestion of mixed cannabis and hemp containing products in a single run and elemental analysis of these products.

An effective workflow for this complex analysis was developed in brownies, and optimization strategies are detailed in order to provide a starting point for similar matrices.

An isocratic HPLC method for the analysis of aflatoxins. Uses the DFL-10 (filter fluorescence detector) with a photochemical reactor to improve sensitivity.

An HPLC method for the testing of CBD Oils. The DLC-10 is a small, easy to use and low-cost HPLC system that uses an isocratic assay for reliability.

Three approaches to HPLC analysis of 17 cannabinoids optimized for speed with high resolution, reduced solvent consumption, or low pressure.

This application note discusses the different methods of using calibration weights and when to use each type.

Contaminants from common plastic labware can interfere with quality and potency testing by HPLC or GC-MS and heavy metal testing by ICP-MS.

This application note demonstrates the removal of particles in cannabis extracts with sample preparation prior to HPLC analysis.

This application note demonstrates Cannabinoid Profiles on Raptor ARC-18 column.

An HPLC method for the testing of CBD Oils. The DLC-10 is a small, easy to use and low-cost HPLC system that uses an isocratic assay for reliability.

This application note demonstrates rapid automated extraction and analysis of a broad range of pesticides from cannabis flower.

This compendium showcases the SCIEX QTRAP® technology and what differentiates it from other triple quadrupole technology. Specifically, QTRAP applications and methods across a diverse set of testing areas are presented.

MRMHR creates a familiar workflow with unrivalled accuracy. Do targeted quantitation you need at trace levels in a similar format to how you would acquire your data on a triple quadrupole system.

In this application note, the analysis of the Massachusetts cannabis pesticide list using MRMHR acquisition on the X500R QTOF system is described.

A fully verified LC–MS method is presented using two different SCIEX triple quadrupole mass spectrometers for analyzing those pesticides comprising the Oregon pesticide list.

This compendium is a collection of application notes to assist laboratories in delivering premium testing of cannabis products to detect pesticides and natural toxins.

Chemovars-a chemistry-based, phenotypical fingerprint rather than a horticultural cultivar-have been proposed and gained popularity in the scientific community. Learn more about key advantages of chemovar classification of cannabis strains.

A lab’s largest purchases is an LC–MS instrument. The lab needs an instrument tough enough for cannabis that has the sensitivity to meet the needs of ongoing changes in regulations.

The state of Massachusetts regulates nine pesticides at 10 ppb in flower. These strict action levels necessitate a highly sensitive mass spectrometer, such as the SCIEX 6500+ QTRAP® system.
