GC-MS

An explanation of the parameters for the implementation of the new methods for the analysis of residual solvents and terpenes using a single gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) system.

Headspace SPME combined with GC–MS for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of terpenes in cannabis offers several advantages compared to other methods. It does not require the use of organic solvents, does not coextract matrix, and provides additional means of peak identification and purity using spectral data. It is also a nondestructive method.
