"a"-Musings from the Cannabis Corner

Dedicated Dialogue

Please join me, Anthony Macherone, Sr. Scientist and Cannabis Technical Lead for Agilent Technologies, for a six-part Podcast series.I will moderate conversations, anecdotes, and musings with my Agilent colleagues and industry leading guests about cannabis testing and regulations in the America’s and globally. This series is intended to be an open dialogue, light-hearted chat hopefully with a lot of banter. Topics and speakers will include Agilent partners from Lake Superior State University about hiring policies and expertise needed to run and manage a contemporary cannabis regulatory testing lab.I will sit down with “Cree Crawford, Co-founder and president of Ionization Labs (an Agilent partner) and Alex Andrawes, CEO of Ionization Labs to discuss their solution for potency testing. I will interview my good friend and Agilent colleague Sue D’Antonio about the good, bad, and the ugly of potency testing, In another episode, Agilent Application Scientists Craig Jones and Jenny Nelson will discuss metals testing using ICP-MS in the vast array of cannabis and cannabinoid products.Agilent Emerging Markets Business Manager Greg Kozadjian and Jodi McDonald of Keystone Labs will discuss the importance of quality results in cannabis testing labs.Finally, Agilent Application Scientists Christophe Deckers, and Jean-François (JF) Roy who will discuss solutions for potency testing in chocolates. Please join us if you can and add to the “a”-musings!

Hear from those educating the next generation of cannabis testing lab scientists. What are the challenges of hiring highly qualified cannabis analysts in the current labor market? Learn about the range of skill sets cannabis laboratory staff will need to be successful.

Best Practices for Hiring and Managing a Cannabis Testing Lab

Ionization Labs, through their Cann-ID potency testing solution has opened up market access to high level chemical analysis tools that have historically been available only to highly trained users. Hear from the Ionization Labs Co- Founders on what sets their solution Cann-ID apart and why every cannabis / hemp operation should be utilizing it.

Expanding Access to Lab-Grade Cannabinoid Potency Testing … No Ph.D. Required

Potency testing in cannabis, hemp, and cannabinoid products is required in every region where the use and production of these products is permitted by law. Although ostensibly a simple HPLC testing method, it can be fraught with potential pitfalls. These include poor extraction efficiency, poor methodology, and outcome bias from lab to lab. In this episode, we will examine these issues and discuss the utility of mass spectrometry as an alternative to address the shortcomings of HPLC.

Expert Advice for Overcoming the Good, the Bad and the Ugly in Cannabis Potency Testing
