The increased use of cannabis plants for therapeutic needs has led to stringent quality testing to ensure product safety. Analysis of cannabis & hemp for residual pesticides and mycotoxins is routinely performed using LC-MS/MS and GC-MS/MS to meet regulatory requirements.
Cannabis testing regulations include analysis of purity, potency, and contaminants. Learn more about analysis of cannabis for pesticides, mycotoxins, and pyrethrins registered in California by LC-MS/MS and GC-MS/MS Using Ascentis® Express Biphenyl and SLB®-5ms Columns
To show product safety, it is mandatory to test cannabis flowers for the presence of pesticides. In this article, we show a complete workflow for sample preparation and analysis of cannabis for the pesticides registered in California, by LC-MS/MS and
Compared to conventional PSA/C18/GCB cleanup, cannabis extracts cleaned with the Supel QuE Verde mixture showed lower GC/MS background, and better recoveries for many pesticides.
Find quality products and complete workflow solutions for your accurate and reliable cannabis testing needs. From the identification and potency testing of cannabinoids, to testing the presence of pesticides, mycotoxins, heavy metals, terpenes, residual solvents, and moisture content in cannabis
QuEChERS is a ‘Quick, Easy, Cheap, Effective, Rugged and Safe’ sample cleanup method used to prepare food and agricultural samples for pesticides analysis. QuEChERS is based on the Solid Phase Extraction (SPE) technique of sample preparation.
Analyte recovery values from spiked cannabis extracts ranged from 102 to 127% with RSD below 12% for 3 replicates. Excellent recovery values were even observed for Aflatoxins B2 and G2 which were spiked at a low level of 6.1 ppb.
Cannabis analysis includes quantitation of cannabinoids, terpenes, residual pesticides and mycotoxins, heavy metals, moisture, and microbial contamination in cannabis plants and cannabis-infused products with the help of robust analytical testing methods.
