With all the hype, analyzing your cannabis and hemp samples for the following is even more crucial:
This is where mass spectrometry plays a role in cannabis testing technology.
LC-MS/MS technology will help you optimize your cannabis and hemp testing
Cannabis sativa plants contain hundreds of distinct chemical compounds in a wide range of concentrations. Moreover, the end-product form is equally complex because it can take many forms, from edibles to essential oils. These complexities demand an analytical technique that is sensitive, selective, and specific to tackle extremely low concentrations and one that can reduce potential matrices inferences. It would help if you had an instrument capable of matching all chemical residues at the lowest possible limits to analyze samples for pesticides and mycotoxins.
This is where you can rely on the power of LC-MS/MS instrumentation and SCIEX method and application support team. Whether you’re a manufacturer, cultivator, grower, or even lab, SCIEX can deliver high-quality end-to-end cannabis and hemp testing solutions that can accommodate your unique need.
Pesticides rank high on the list of safety concerns and regulated compounds include a breadth of pesticides which ranges from 0.01 µg/g (10 ppb) to above 1 µg/g (1 ppm).
Many regulatory agencies require testing for the presence of aflatoxin B1, B2, G1, G2 and ochratoxin A. LC-MS/MS is the tried and tested cannabis solution for accurate trace level analysis of these mycotoxins and its metabolites in complex matrices.
