Event Overview:
The recent news about AOAC adopting Agilent’s method for the determination of heavy metals in a variety of cannabis and cannabis-derived products has many people excited in the industry to finally have an official method for metals in cannabis. Join Agilent for an educational seminar on the preparation and analysis of heavy metals in cannabis and cannabis-derived products by ICP-MS using the new “first action” AOAC method. Data from the SMPR study will be presented.
Key Learning Objectives:
- Review the new Official AOAC method for the determination of heavy metals in a variety of cannabis and cannabis-derived products
- Learn how to perform microwave digestion of for sample preparation and elemental analysis by ICP-MS
- Learn how to best run your ICP-MS for cannabis and cannabis-derived products, and how to have confidence in your data with our new software features
Who Should Attend:
- Metals analysis lab managers, chemists, and technicians involved in trace metals testing of cannabis
- Lab managers and lab technicians looking to optimize heavy metals analysis of cannabis
- Lab directors and commercial lab managers looking to increase throughput of cannabis testing

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.
