Quantitative analysis of 16 cannabinoids with complete baseline separation of Δ8 and Δ9-THC utilizing the Triple Quad LCMS-8050
8 Mar 2020As interest increases in analyzing inherently complex cannabis and hemp-based products, there is growing demand for the analytical benefits of LC-MS/MS such as higher sensitivity, selectivity, and resolution for the determination of cannabinoids. This application note demonstrates a rapid, selective and robust method for the detection of various cannabinoids by using the Shimadzu LCMS-8050. This method demonstrates the ability of the Nexera X2 UHPLC and LCMS-8050 mass spectrometer to enable simultaneous, accurate measurement of many of the cannabinoids of interest.

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.

It provides detailed information about the structure, composition, and properties of compounds and is widely used across fields such as environmental monitoring, materials science, drug discovery and development, food and beverage testing, and wider chemical research. Key MS techniques include tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LS-MS) and inductively coupled plasma (ICP-MS). Choosing from these wide range of techniques and technologies can be a daunting task, so keep up to date with scientific applications, performance expectations, and customer reviews here all in one place.
