Cannabinoid separations and the impact of LC column selectivity

9 Feb 2023

In this application note, Advanced Materials Technology compares cannabis separation results of its new HALO® LPH-C18 phase with a competitor C18 column. With the legalization of both medical and recreational cannabis across the United States there has been a surge in cannabinoid testing. Cannabinoids are a group of compounds that can be found in the cannabis plant. Some of these cannabinoid compounds are medically significant and can be used for pain management or appetite stimulation. It is important to test for these compounds to determine whether the products are safe for medical or recreational use.

Gas ChromatographyGas chromatography (GC) is an analytical technique used to separate and quantitate mixtures of small and volatile compounds. Gas chromatographs or GC systems include components such as GC columns, detectors, pumps and autosamplers. Choose from packed or capillary GC columns, flame ionization (FID), photoionization (PID) electron capture detectors and selective or non-selective detectors. Find the best gas chromatographs in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Environmental Monitoring and TestingEnvironmental monitoring and testing uses handheld portable analyzers, kits, spectrometers or chromatography systems for air, water, soil, food and other sample testing. Useful features of analyzers such as BOD and COD include portability, easy calibration, automation and sensitivity.  Environmental test kits for pH, water, moisture, etc, should be accurate, sensitive, reliable, fast and easy to use.Toxicology / Drugs of Abuse TestingToxicology and Drugs of Abuse Testing is the investigation into toxic and illegal substances found at the scene of a crime or from a suspect and / or victim associated with a scene of a crime. Analyzers, immunoassays and drugs of abuse test kits and presumptive test kits are an essential aspect of toxicology investigation.Drug TestingIt is essential to test the efficacy and toxicity of drugs at every stage of their development to ensure that a pharmaceutical product is fit for purpose and safe for use before reaching the stage of mass production and distribution.Quality TestingQuality testing ensures that products meet required specifications and safety standards in various industries, including pharmaceuticals, food, and materials. It is essential for maintaining product quality and consumer safety.
