Terpenes Testing

Terpenes Testing

Identify and quantify terpenes in cannabis products with increased confidence using the same GC-MS/MS systems used for pesticides and residual solvents analysis. With Waters technologies, you can achieve rapid results while maintaining the highest product quality and meeting regulatory requirements.

Overview

Terpene testing is performed to characterize the aroma and flavor profile of various cannabis products and to support research regarding the health benefits of cannabis. Terpenes are typically analyzed by gas chromatography, and due to structural isomerism, chromatographic resolution, and unique fragmentation patterns are essential for correct identification.

Identify and quantify terpenes in cannabis products with increased confidence using the Waters Xevo TQ-GC or APGC-MS/MS with liquid injection, which can also be used for pesticide and residual solvent testing. Having fewer systems with flexible capabilities help cannabis testing laboratories save upfront capital, increase lab capacity, maintain product quality, and meet all regulatory requirements as they grow.

Applications

Over 100 terpenes have been identified in cannabis, and chromatographic separation and identification of these compounds is challenging. Learn how Waters technologies allow you to use a single platform to perform multiple analyses required for the safety and quality testing of cannabis in these application notes.
