No smoke, just results: Streamlined CBD testing with FTIR

Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy offers a fast and efficient alternative to traditional methods such as High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) for quantifying cannabidiol (CBD) in cannabis oils. FTIR spectroscopy simplifies the process and provides rapid results with sufficient precision for routine quality control.

Using an Attenuated Total Reflectance (ATR) accessory, FTIR spectrometers measure the absorbance of specific infrared peaks that directly correlate with CBD content. ATR technology enables direct analysis of liquid samples, requiring minimal sample preparation as the oil can be applied directly onto the ATR crystal without dilution or additional chemical reagents. This reduces preparation time and eliminates the risk of introducing errors during sample handling. These measurements allow the creation of accurate calibration models covering a wide range of CBD concentrations, ensuring reproducible results for various cannabis oil samples.

The Lyza 7000 FTIR spectrometer from Anton Paar optimises the process for maximum efficiency. With its guided five-step quantification feature, the instrument simplifies workflows, making CBD analysis straightforward. Producers benefit from fast, consistent data generation without the need for extensive chemical reagents or complex preparatory steps.

This streamlined approach enables cannabis oil producers to verify product quality and consistency quickly and effectively.
