The Analysis of Edibles with Cannabis Testing Experts
With the huge success of our Cannabis Testing Townhall Parts 1 & 2, we invite you to join our experts for Cannabis Townhall Part 3: The Analysis of Edibles.
The analysis of edibles is notoriously difficult and complex without a one-size-fits-all solution. To make matters worse, most published information is written for flower or concentrates, leaving the analysts to develop completely new sample preparation methods on their own. Furthermore, analysts will need to spend additional time optimizing those methods—a necessary task as a lack of optimization can lead to significant instrument downtime and highly irreproducible results, affecting your bottom line.
The good news? We have optimized those methods for you! Join us on October 12th and chat with our edibles experts about some of the most difficult challenges and pitfalls of chocolate, beverages, and gummies and hard candies analyses. Then, learn how we have addressed those unique challenges for you. Most of the time will be spent in a live Q&A session with our edibles experts, so come prepared to ask us anything!
