Analysis of Terpenes in Cannabis Using the Agilent 7697A/7890B/5977B Headspace GC–MSD System
This application note describes the analysis of 22 terpenes common to marijuana in under 6 minutes using the Agilent 7697A/7890B/5977B headspace-gas chromatography-mass selective detection (HSS-GC-MSD) system with concomitant flame ionization detector (FID) detection using integrated Capillary Flow Technology to split the column effluent in a controllable and precise manner to the two detectors.
Determination of Terpenes in Cannabis by GC-FID (using 8300 GC / 8500 GC)
June 14th 2024Hemp 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.
Cannabis Potency Analysis by HPLC (June 2024)
June 14th 2024CBDV, 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.
