The retention and selectivity of the Raptor Biphenyl column allow new drugs to be added to an existing method.






This Application Note details an LC/MS/MS analytical workflow developed by Agilent for the accurate measurement of the California State combined pesticide and mycotoxin action lists.

This application note outlines a QuEChERS extraction approach coupled with either traditional dSPE clean-up versus UCT’s dSPE clean-up in a 96 wellplate format.

For dependable HPLC analysis of cannabinoid samples, Kromasil Classic C18 columns perform with excellent peak shape and complete resolution.

This application note investigates analytical HPLC potency testing of cannabinoids using YMC-Triart C18 and YMC Meteoric Core C18.

Analysis of Synthetic Cannabinoids and Metabolites: Adding New Compounds to an Existing LC-MS/MS Method
The analysis of synthetic cannabinoids and their metabolites can be a difficult and challenging task. Keeping up with the ever-growing list of synthetic cannabinoids that illicit drugmakers produce further complicates the analysis. As shown here, the retention and selectivity of the Raptor Biphenyl column allow new drugs to be added to an existing method, providing labs with an important vehicle for improving efficiency and productivity.

Note discusses pesticide screening and testing using the QuEChERS method and LCMSMS

The Agilent 1220 Infinity II LC system offers reliable and robust profiling and quantification for 11 of the most commonly targeted cannabinoids found in marijuana (Cannabis Sativa) and products such as edible foodstuffs derived from the plant material. The method was tested and vetted on two independent 1220 Infinity II LC systems.

This application note demonstrates the performance of the CEM MARS One for digestion of mixed cannabis containing products in a single run for elemental analysis.

Remove all pesticides and other contaminants from cannabis and hemp extracts without significant cannabinoid loss using proprietary, cost-effective KDM method.

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.






LC-MS/MS multiresidue pesticide solutions meet cannabis testing regulationsMeets California and Canadian cannabis regulations on a single platform

Challenges in cannabis analytic method development. Effective and robust cannabis testing solutions.

This application brief presents temperature and shear rate dependent viscosity data on two types of cannabis oils.

Cannabinoid Profiles on Raptor ARC-18 - High Throughput Analysis of Cannabinoids by LC-UV

This application note demonstrates rapid automated extraction and LC/GC analysis of over 400 pesticides from cannabis flower.

Achieving the California Pesticide Regulations in Cannabis Using Optimized APCI and ESI Techniques
This report shows the analysis of the entire pesticide suite on the California List demonstrated by LC-MS/MS using two injections; one utilizing ESI and the other APCI

This white paper describes the Fraction Finder, a real-time distillation monitoring system that can identify the contents of liquid flowing through a tube in-situ and in real-time.

Note discusses the different equipment used by cannabis labs to test their samples and the need for on-site gas generation equipment in these labs.
