The Future of In-House Testing (September 2023)
Dr. James Wylde from Greenlight Analytical introduces the Harvest IQ; a novel testing tool that gives growers comprehensive information to help them consistently grow high quality, high revenue cannabis. Dr. Wylde will discuss the benefits; ranging from the ease of use which requires no sample prep, no reagents, and in minutes can measure the complete chemical profile of cannabis plants, including cannabinoids, terpenes, flavonoids; as well as residual pesticides, fertilizers, and antifungal agents; simultaneously. The AI driven output, easily understood without needing specialized skills, will give growers actionable information they can use to grow consistent, high quality, terpene rich products.
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.
