CRM solutions were exposed to varying experimental conditions:<\/p>\n
DARK, FREEZING: 2 ml amber vials at \u2013 20\u00b0C<\/p>\n
DARK, RT: 2ml amber vials at 20-25\u00b0C<\/p>\n
LIGHTBOX, AMBER VIALS: 2 ml amber vials at 25-30\u00b0C<\/p>\n
LIGHTBOX, TRANSPARENT VIALS: 2 ml transparent vials at 25-30\u00b0C<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Results<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The experiments showed that the CRM solutions are stable at -20\u00b0C. However, once exposed to room temperature or light, the decomposition of the standards occurs. At room temperature, the neutral components are much more stable than the acidic ones. Interestingly, no differences were observed between complete darkness and the lab environment. However, under intensive light (lightbox), extensive decomposition takes place. Under such conditions, the neutral components are more prone to decomposition compared to the acidic analogues, even in the case of the amber type of glass. In the transparent vials, decomposition up to 100% was observed during a 42-day period.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The conclusion of the study is that attention needs to be paid to the storage conditions of cannabinoid reference standard solutions, as they are light-and heat-degradable. The standard solutions need to be carefully stored in a controlled environment and extra care has to be taken when manipulating is required in order to obtain reliable results.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The recently recognized therapeutic potential of cannabinoids has renewed scientific and consumer interest in cannabis, which spurred an increased amount of cannabis-based consumer products on the market.
