The Potency Determination of 15 Cannabinoids using the Cannabis Analyzer for Potency™

Introduction

Revenue for cannabis testing is set to rise to roughly 2 billion USD by 2025. According to a 2019 Global Market Insights, Inc1, the chromatography technology segment will account for 1.5 billion USD of this revenue. The potential for market growth is attributed to the ongoing development of chromatography techniques in potency testing of cannabis1, supporting manufacturing operations, and the associated clinical science. Cannabis is available in numerous forms, from dry flower to concentrated oils, and contains over one hundred cannabinoids, making the development of rugged, quantitatively accurate methods a challenge. This study optimizes a quantitative chromatographic determination of 15 cannabinoids using the Shimadzu Cannabis Analyzer for Potency™.
