Event Overview:

In this latest webinar, LC–MS/MS expert Dr. Avinash Dalmia describes how LC–MS/MS based systems and methods can overcomes the challenges associated with the analysis of pesticides and mycotoxins regulated by Colorado state in hemp with dual ESI and APCI source​.

Key Learning Objectives:

• List of pesticides and their different action limits in different US states and Canada for hemp/cannabis
• Analysis of non-polar pesticides using novel LC–MS/MS method with dual ESI and APCI source
• Ionization mechanism of non-polar pesticides with APCI source in negative ion mode
• Mitigation of hemp matrix effects with LC and MS method optimization to improve method sensitivity to meet Colorado state action limits for 102 pesticides and five mycotoxins in hemp matrix
• The rationale for selecting a sample preparation method as automated solvent extraction with good extraction efficiency, lower cost, and higher throughput.
• Addition of internal standards to improve method accuracy

Who Should Attend:

• Future or current cannabis lab managers
• Future or current cannabis lab investors
• Future or current cannabis testing lab analysts and chemist
• Entrepreneurs considering starting a cannabis testing lab or branch
