Standard cannabis potency testing measures the levels of the major cannabinoids: tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), cannabidiol (CBD), cannabidiolic acid (CBDA), cannabinol (CBN), and tetrahydrocannabinolic acid, among others. Cannabis testing presents a complex analytical challenge due to its availability in various forms and compositions, which include hundreds of distinct compounds. Our dedicated cannabis team understands the daily challenges of your lab, and our world-class products provide the solution. From sample preparation, to HPLC and GC columns, and all accompanying accessories, we aim to be a supply chain partner that shares your unique goals.
We provide products, solutions, and support with:
How do I improve the reliability and robustness of our potency assay?Great Question! And a subject that many labs struggle with. The short answer is; upgrade your HPLC method. Potency methods are evolving with the industry, which means FAST. The number of predominant cannabinoids present in today’s samples has more than doubled in the past few years, causing co-elutions and quantitative inaccuracies in some cases. In addition, the various matrices often cause retention time shifts within older methods. By implementing modern HPLC methods in cannabis testing, you can resolve more cannabinoids while stabilizing retention times, without costing yourself runtime.

2021 is tough, but we are resilient. How can we decrease costs in our lab?Running a lab is tough, period, and 2021 has only made it harder. Fortunately, cannabis testing labs have been deemed essential, and thus are fighting to survive. However, 2021 is making life harder with an overall decrease in sample load in North America, but there are many areas to decrease laboratory costs by focusing on your supply chain. Laboratory consumables are a great place to focus, as they are a recurring cost and thus can affect your bottom line quickly. From developing improved sample preparation, and creating robust methods with longer column lifetimes, to a focus on accessories, we can help you streamline and decrease those costs in cannabis potency testing. |
