Cannabinoids Salt Screening with the Crystal16
The term pharmaceutical salt is used to refer to an ionizable drug that has been combined with a counter-ion to form a neutral complex. More than half of all drug molecules on the market are salts. The main reason behind this is that in general, salts have more desirable aqueous solubility (and implicitly bioavailability) profiles compared to the free acid or the free base API (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient).
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.
