Shelf Life Quantification of THC Formulations
The fast-paced and growing market of THC- and CBD-infused beverages provides several challenges for a formulator. Aside from working in an entirely new market with new materials, guidelines are not yet in place to monitor and regulate the potency of such beverages as they age – the destabilization of the oil inside of the beverage can create zones where the dosage is higher than in other regions. Chromatographic techniques require an invasive process to quantify this stability. Here, we will show how the Static Multiple Light Scattering technique utilized in the Turbiscan device can be used to quantify the volume fraction evolution of a destabilizing THC-infused emulsion and letdown beverage.
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.
