Preparation of cannabis samples for analysis

05 Nov, 2024

Neutral-to-analysis sample homogenization is the indispensable first step in the analysis process for cannabis and related products. Whether it is potency testing, extraction of CBD/THC or terpene or pesticide analysis – a truly homogeneous and representative sample always guarantees trustworthy analysis results. RETSCH provides a wide range of lab mills suitable for the job.

As the Cannabis industry continues to grow, laws and regulations continue to evolve to ensure that the quality of the product meets the standards for safety and labeling. To obtain reliable and accurate results, the sample must be prepared properly! Retsch, as the world leader in sample preparation, provides laboratory mills for size reduction and sample homogenization to ensure reliable analytical results.

Testing labs and manufacturers also continue in their testing demands and requirements to report compliance, regardless of product matrix, as the testing of Cannabis products includes both flower and edibles. Due to the complexity of the various matrices, there are many challenges to overcome in preparing the sample adequately for analysis.

Whether the samples are gummy bears, brownies, candies, or cannabis flower, RETSCH can provide assistance in selecting the ideal instrument to meet the application requirements.
