THC Testing

Highlighted Applications

Recreational marijuana use is currently legal in many regions around the world, it also remains illegal in many areas, which also requires testing. Because of this, it is increasingly important for laboratories to develop accurate testing methods for THC and its related compounds in biological matrices.

This video highlights some of our solutions for THC analysis.

LC-MS/MS Solutions for THC Analysis

Simple and effective sample prep protocols for cleanup of blood, urine, and oral fluid samples that produce reliable results, and are automation compatible.

THC extraction from whole blood

THC extraction from urine

THC extraction from oral fluid

GC-MS Solution for THC Analysis

Simple and fully automatable extraction of carboxy-THC from urine and whole blood, following base hydrolysis prior to GC/MS analysis. These methods deliver high, reproducible recoveries without the need for complex sample pre-treatment.

THC in Alternative Matrices

Alternative matrices such as hair and finger nails are increasingly popular for THC analyses, as sampling is non-invasive compared to traditional urine or blood samples. These matrices can also provide an indication of longer term drug exposure.

What’s the Best Way to do Supported Liquid Extraction?

Supported Liquid Extraction (SLE) is a sample preparation technique that has been in use for over ten years now, but many analytical chemists don’t know about, or understand the best way to do an SLE extraction. In this post, I’m going to talk about how SLE works and the proper way to do an SLE extraction for sample clean up.
