Method of analysis for profile-effect relationships
Thin Layer Chromatography
Visual
- The combination of cannabinoids are visible as colored spots (= chemotype of the species. Also called cannabinoid profile or fingerprint = unique)
- Size of spot depends on the concentration
- THC (wine red), CBD (yellow orange), CBC (violet), CBG (yellow) Accurate
- The test plates are scanned
- With AlphaCAT3.0 Pixel Quant Software for "cannabinoid content determination", the pixels are counted and the levels of THC, CBD and the like determined.
- The test takes 30 minutes
- A signed test certificate within 48 hours
- A full cannabinoid test certificate is provided for € 180, a fraction of the costs of alternative test methods such as gas chromatography or HPLC and there is no lab in the Netherlands that can provide this service!
- Only 0.1 gram (100 milligrams) of cannabis is needed for testing the cannabinoid content and 1 gram of cannabis material for pesticide residue testing
