Cannabinoid profiling
The peculiarity of cannabis plants is presence of cannabinoids – the terpenophenolic compounds that are concentrated in resin produced in microscopic hairy structures known as glandular trichomes. Using state-of-the art analytical techniques we quantitatively determine major cannabinoids in plant material and various cannabis-infused products.
The PharmaLab quantitative determination of cannabinoids is performed with high accuracy, high precision and in compliance with good laboratory practice. Our method utilizes state-of-the art high pressure liquid chromatography and currently provides quantitative determination of the following cannabinoids:
CBD
Cannabidiol
Neutral, non-psychoactive cannabinoid, prevalent in hemp.
CBDA
Cannabidiolic Acid
Acidic, non-psycoactive cannabinoid biosynthesized within glandular trichomes, precursor to CBD.
THC
Tetrahydrocannabinol
Neutral psychoactive cannabinoid, prevalent in several cannabis strains.
THCA
Tetrahydocannbinolic Acid
Acidic, non-psychoactive cannabinoid biosynthesized within glandular trichomes, precursor to THC.
CBDV
Cannabidivarin
Neutral, non-psychoactive homologue of CBD, usually present in minor amounts.
THCV
Tetrahydrocannabivarin
Neutral non-psychoactive homologue of THC, usually present in minor amounts.
CBG
Cannabigerol
Neutral non-psychoactive cannabinoid, usually present in minor amounts.
CBN
Cannabinol
Non-psychoactive cannabinoid, product of oxidation of THC, usually present in minor amounts.
