High-throughput analysis of cannabinoids in cannabis products

MilliporeSigma and Supra Research and Development demonstrate a reliable method for cannabinoid analysis in serval different matrices

26 Feb 2021

In this application note, MilliporeSigma, in partnership with Supra Research and Development, demonstrates the successful application of its Ascentis Express C18 Column in a high-throughput and reliable method for cannabinoid analysis in several different matrices.

Ascentis® Express C18

Sigma-Aldrich Supelco

  C18 HPLC column for High Speed and High Resolution Applications. Ascentis® Express C18 is the first choice for starting a new method. Ascentis Express HPLC columns, through the use of Fused-Core® particle technology, can provide you with both the high speed and high efficiencies of sub-2 μm particles at lower system pressure. With identical conditions, the Ascentis Express C18 column performs more than 4X faster than a standard C18 column, for most applications. The combination of high efficiency and lower operating pressure benefits UHPLC (or other ultra high pressure system) users, as well as conventional HPLC users. The increased efficiency of Ascentis Express columns enables you to use shorter columns and reduce solvent usage/cost. The Ascentis® Express C18 is also featured in an application note about liquid GC columns which can be found on the SelectScience website here, and a study on HPLC separation of bile acid here. Column details: Mode: Reversed Phase USP Code: L1 Particle Size: 2.7, <2.0 μm Pore Size: 90 Å Length: 20, 30, 50, 75, 100, 150 mm ID: 1.0, 2.1, 3.0, 4.6, 10 mm

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.UHPLC and HPLCHigh performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and ultra high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC), also known as UPLC, are analytical techniques used to separate, identify and quantitate components of complex mixtures including biological samples such as proteins and lipids as well as chemical mixtures of pesticides, drugs and oils. Both techniques are liquid chromatographic methods but differ by operating pressures (HPLC < 6000 psi < UHPLC ). Components of HPLC and UHPLC systems include columns, detectors, pumps, autosamplers and column heaters. Explore a range of UHPLC and HPLC columns for your specific sample needs including reverse phase, normal phase, ion exchange, HILIC, ion exclusion and size exclusion columns. For more specialized HPLC, explore FPLC, countercurrent LC and simulated moving bed systems.

Products to assist sample preparation include filtration equipment, evaporators, membranes and sieves.LC-MSLC-MS (liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry) systems and equipment are used for separation and quantitative analysis of complex mixtures, combining liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry. Quantify proteins, contaminants, pesticides or screen for drug metabolites with a high level of sensitivity. LC-MS systems and equipment include reverse phase, normal phase and specialized columns integrated with various MS detectors such as time-of-flight (TOF), quadrupole, orbitrap or ion trap mass analyzers. LC-MS/MS instruments equipped with a qTOF or triple quadrupole analyzer give greater sensitivity and resolving power to your analysis.
