Event Overview:
As staff at experienced cannabis testing labs will tell you, the path to performing trace metals analysis is fraught with pitfalls if you don’t know what to look for. Evaluating the features and capabilities of the microwave sample preparation and analytical tools you will use are just the tip of the iceberg. In this webcast, we will cover the full process for analyzing various cannabis samples, from the initial sample preparation to analysis by inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). We’ll review the sample digestion technologies available and explain what the differences in throughput, temperature and pressure, and batching translate to your lab’s profitability long-term.
Key Learning Objectives:
• Understand the process for analyzing various cannabis samples, from initial sample preparation to ICP-MS analysis
• See how both rotor-based and single reaction chamber sample digestion technologies can accommodate the needs of busy cannabis testing labs
• Learn the important factors for successful metals analysis in cannabis samples using ICP-MS
• Discover how you can streamline the implementation process for metals analysis with the ICP-MS Cannabis Analyzer package

Cannabis genetics fundamentally dictate the plant's potential for chemical signatures, including cannabinoid and terpene profiles, and physical traits, such as yield. Cultivators use selective techniques, such as "stacking," to enhance specific compounds. Ultimately, successful cultivation involves balancing superior genetics with environmental "levers" to optimize gene expression and create targeted strains.
