Cleaning Up Cannabis: Identifying Sources of Inorganic Contamination & Error

Abstract

Cannabis regulations often require monitoring of potentially toxic elements some in trace amounts.  Trace inorganic contamination can alter or skew elemental analysis providing inaccurate results and ultimately fails the products being tested.  In this webinar, the sources of contamination and methods or controlling error will be discussed with practical best practices for inorganic trace analysis.

• Understand the ways and routes in which contamination can enter cannabis and hemp products and how to eliminate or control additional contamination in testing

• Review best practices for common laboratory sample preparation and dilution techniques used in inorganic sample preparation  in order to reduce contamination and error

• Learn the appropriate calculations and use of inorganic reference materials and how to translate common conversions to reduce calculation errors
