Event Overview:

This webcast will give practical, insightful information to those developing methods utilizing LC–MS. Topics considered include validation requirements from a regulatory perspective, evaluation of matrix suppression effects, and the importance of isotope labelled internal standards. Dr. Rule will share his knowledge on these and related topics to assist those with their own method development and validations.

  • Minimizing false positives and false negatives

  • Evaluating and correcting for suppression

  • Accuracy, recovery, and benefit of isotope labelled internal standards

Key Learning Objectives:

  • Understand how to evaluate suppression effects

  • Describe how stable isotope-labeled internal standards (SIL ISs) are important for accurate quantitation

  • Gain new ideas and understanding of common method issues

Speaker: Dr. Geoffrey Rule, Principal Scientist, MilliporeSigma

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.
