This application note demonstrates membranes used priorly in ethanol now utilized for BHO extraction, achieving efficient dewaxing, decolorization, & enhancing purity.

Hemp and marijuana are becoming more popular because of legalisation in multiple countries. The increase of this market also increases the offer of products and therefore the need to monitor different components. One of these components are cannabinoids or just short potency analysis, which can be found in our portfolio of Cannabis applications (AN091,92,93,130). This application focusses on terpenes analysis.

CBDV, CBGA, THC-A and CBDA cannot be detected with FID or MS without extra sample preparation due to decarboxylation caused by the heat of the injector. The HPLC is a perfect instrument to measure these components since it does not use heat for the injection. Discover the advantage of this technique being able to analyse acidic cannabinoids without the lengthy sample preparation seen in GC methods.
