General description

A certified solution standard suitable for LC/MS or GC/MS applications in cannabinoid testing, clinical toxicology, forensic analysis, or urine drug testing. Δ8-THC is an impurity in synthetic THC manufacturing processes. Δ8-THC is the double bond isomer of the primary psychoactive ingredient of cannabis called Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol. This cannabinoid has antiemetic, anxiolytic, appetite-stimulating, and analgesic properties.

Application

The Certified Spiking Solution® is suitable for (−)-Δ8-THC testing by HPLC, GC/MS or LC-MS/MS methods in forensic analysis, clinical toxicology, urine drug testing, and Cannabis potency or impurity profiling testing applications. The Certified Reference Material (CRM) in solution can also be used as follows:
  • Multi-analysis of 11 cannabinoids in biomass and extracts of different cannabis varieties by an HPLC-UV method, following the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) Tripartite Guideline for Validation of Analytical Procedures
  • Separation and estimation of 13 cannabinoids from different cannabis products using isocratic high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) in combination with a diode array detector (DAD)
  • Gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric (GC-MS) analysis of ten main cannabinoids from hemp inflorescences following their silylation and esterification for derivatization
  • Quantification of cannabidiol and Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol in addition to the identification of minor cannabinoids from human plasma samples using ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) combined with triple quadrupole mass spectrometry following a liquid-liquid extraction
  • QuEChERS based extraction of 15 cannabinoids from 20 food product samples followed by their quantification by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS)

Features and Benefits

  • Fully characterized under ISO/IEC 17025 and ISO 17034 accreditation
  • Accompanied with a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (CoA) with data on stability, homogeneity, accuracy of concentration, uncertainty, and traceability
  • Rigorously tested through real-time stability studies to ensure accuracy and shelf life
  • Gravimetrically prepared using qualified precision balances to ensure minimal uncertainty
  • Flame sealed under argon into ampoules for long-term shelf life
  • Offered in a convenient, DEA-exempt format to improve laboratory efficiency
