Potency Inflation: The Influence of Normal Laboratory VariabilityThe issue of potency inflation is currently common in the press. Everyone thinks that cannabis labs cannot be trusted due to overt cheating. Although a few bad actors certainly can, and do, cheat the system, most inter-laboratory variability can be caused by perfectly legal means leaving regulators very little actions to correct.

Shelf Life Quantification of THC FormulationsThe fast-paced and growing market of THC- and CBD-infused beverages provides several challenges for a formulator. Aside from working in an entirely new market with new materials, guidelines are not yet in place to monitor and regulate the potency of such beverages as they age – the destabilization of the oil inside of the beverage can create zones where the dosage is higher than in other regions. Chromatographic techniques require an invasive process to quantify this stability. Here, we will show how the Static Multiple Light Scattering technique utilized in the Turbiscan device can be used to quantify the volume fraction evolution of a destabilizing THC-infused emulsion and letdown beverage.

Making Sense of Cannabis Strains Through Chemometrics in ReviewThe cannabis industry is constrained by the continued use of acronyms and nonstandard abbreviations for strain naming in lieu of a scientific-based standardized classification convention or lexicon. Applying chemometric tools can result in not only the authentication of a given cannabis cultivar but also provide a quality control mechanism for both cannabis flower and any resulting cannabis-based drugs.
