We’ve Come A Long Way In today’s cannabis quality assurance testing facilities we see multimillion-dollar laboratories outfitted with full suites of instrumentation, often in replicate. Manufacturers and suppliers are developing methods and SOPs to support quality science within the industry. However, this hasn’t always been the case, in the early days of testing there were labs with little more than a gas chromatograph in a

Tight budgets and time constraints often lead to simple oversights in the lab, impacting the quality of your analyses. Many chromatography challenges can be traced back to human error, poor maintenance, or a lack of proper training. Here are a few tips on good laboratory practices to consider for more accurate testing results: Tip 1: Improve Precision and Accuracy by Using Internal Standards When used

Setting analyte identification parameters is important and will play a large role in just about everything else especially determination of limit of detection, limit of quantitation and false positive/false negative rates. This seems straightforward because, of course, you must be able to identify your pesticides. Although parameters include retention time matching and mass spectral data, setting the actual criteria for your parameters will allow you
