PARTNER WITH PERKINELMER Analyzing cannabis can be challenging – setting up a laboratory, developing methods to ensure maximum throughput of samples, generating client reports, and preserving data integrity. More importantly, as state and country rules and regulations evolve, cannabis labs need instrumentation and support that can meet new and stricter demands. Difficult matrices like these require the highest sensitivity and greatest performance than ever before. And from pesticides and mycotoxins to residual solvents and terpenes to potency and heavy metals, our instruments will help you...

RESIDUAL SOLVENTS PREVENT END-PRODUCT CONTAMINATION Most cannabis concentrates are extracted using a solvent such as supercritical CO2, butane, hydrocarbon (hexane), propane, water (ethanol) or alcohol. These solvents are used to extract out the cannabinoids and terpenes from the plant material. In some cases, impurities from the solvent remain in the final cannabis product. These are called residual solvents and understanding their concentration is a critical element of cannabis testing. The method of choice for quantifying residual solvents is headspace gas chromatography, a simple...

TERPENES ISOLATING, IDENTIFYING, AND ANALYZING TERPENES From oranges to cannabis, terpenes are found in the oils of all botanicals and are often responsible for the distinct flavors and fragrances consumers recognize. By leveraging unique terpenes and key cannabis strains, growers, processors, and producers can differentiate themselves – and their products – in this ever-growing market. Additionally, the potential medical benefits of terpenes are continually explored and new analysis opportunities surge. Terpene analysis is run on a GC/MS-HS. With easy sample preparation, this laboratory...

POTENCY THE NEED FOR CANNABINOID POTENCY TESTING Naturally occurring cannabinoids, the main biologically active components of the cannabis and hemp plant, form a complex group of closely related compounds, of which 70 are known and well described. Of these, the primary focus has been on Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) due to its pharmacological and toxicological characteristics, upon which strict legal limits have been enforced. Cultivators and processing labs often focus on Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THC-A), as it is the naturally occurring precursor to THC and is readily decarboxylated...

MYCOTOXINS PREVENT THE SPREAD OF CONTAMINATION In addition to pesticides, the growth of various molds and fungi during the growing process can produce carcinogenic mycotoxins including ochratoxin A and aflatoxins. As a result, testing for levels of pesticides and mycotoxins in cannabis is important to ensure consumer safety and quality control, as these molecules can be highly toxic to all animal organisms and have harmful effects even at very low doses. Contamination can occur in the field, but also during the subsequent phases of transportation, storage, or processing, or when...

HEAVY METALS ENSURE SAFETY FOR END CONSUMERS Harmful toxic elements can be absorbed into cannabis plants primarily through uptake from soil, water, and fertilizer. Concentrations are at comparatively trace levels – in the parts per billion or parts per trillion – but can still be harmful to end consumers. As such, it’s important to measure the toxic elemental content of plants and plant materials. Cannabis and hemp plants are complex biological entities that require sample preparation, usually consisting of homogenization followed by microwave digestion to completely break down the complex...
