Comprehensive Characterization of Cannabis Samples

Cannabicyclol (CBL) is formed through the photodegradation of cannabichromene (CBC). Levels are typically quite low, and the medicinal benefits of CBL are still being researched, but quantifying this compound in cannabis samples is crucial for obtaining a more-complete cannabinoids profile. Restek has released a new CBL certified reference material (CRM) to further aid labs in the comprehensive characterization of cannabis.

Restek’s new CBL standard was designed with creating multipoint (5-point minimum suggested) calibration curves for LC analysis in mind. With verified composition and stability, this prepared stock product aims to eliminate the need for in-house standards preparation for greater convenience and lower labor requirements. As a U.S. DEA-exempted formulation, no additional customer permits or licensing are required to purchase within the U.S. Because it is also manufactured and QC tested in Restek’s ISO-accredited labs, this new CBL standard qualifies as a certified reference material (CRM) to satisfy ISO requirements.
