Event Overview:

Pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, and other contaminants in cannabis extracts are frequently present at levels of 50 to 500 ppm, or more-toxic levels that are clearly health risks to users. This webcast will discuss the use of chromatography to purify cannabis products and eliminate toxic contaminants, and how you can move from a “fail” to a “pass” in meeting safety standards.

See the how proven, cost-effective, and simple methods have progressed since our webcast last year and learn next steps from expert separation scientists how to produce pure and clean cannabis extracts.

Key Learning Objectives:

  •     Learn why having the highest standards beyond current regulations sets a higher bar and improves the overall quality and reputation of the industry

  •     Learn how recent hemp legislation allows black and gray market products that are being properly tested-and why it’s incumbent on sellers to put safety first

  •     Learn more about the chemical selectivity of pesticides and how to apply a methodology to remove them

Manipulating Cannabis Genetics: Pulling Levers to Increase  Phytochemical Composition
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.
