Cannabis and hemp analyzers for improved cannabinoid potency accuracy and reproducibility

Abstract A multi-year effort to develop streamlined, fit for purpose cannabis analyzers for potency analysis is described herein. These analyzers are easy to use and deliver the highest accuracy, reproducibility and reliability. Cannabis and hemp analyzers are useful in cannabis QC testing laboratories, as well as academic labs, agricultural labs, pharmaceutical labs and forensic labs. This chapter also details application of cannabis analyzers to flower (dry product), edibles, tinctures and oils. We examine the need for simplified analyzers for cannabis analyzers, as well as future development opportunities.
