FRITSCH Milling and Sizing

In this webinar, Dr. Günther Crolly will provide a general introduction to the technology of particle size measurement using the example of laser diffraction. In addition to the underlying physical theory, instrumental aspects as well as the preparation and treatment of the sample material are discussed. The importance of the result curves and differences in the comparison of different measuring methods are also deliberated on. 
If you have questions, we will be more than glad to answer these. Contact details can be found on our website:

Using Image Analysis to verify Laser Diffraction Results – Particle Sizing with Static Light Scattering Combined

During a Cannabis Industry Symposium, we demonstrated how efficiently cannabis can be ground with our Universal Cutting Mill PULVERISETTE 19.
By ensuring far greater product integrity and consistency than current analytical and processing methods, our tools enable extractors and manufacturers to create increased yields and ROIs for their business while delivering higher-quality, premium products for the rapidly growing market of medical cannabis patients and consumers. 
The Universal Cutting Mill PULVERISETTE 19 is specifically optimized for biomass processing, utilizing cutting chambers, knives, and airflow with specialized geometries, designed to mitigate heat and physical stress on plant samples while maintaining the chemical profile. Unlike conventional grinders and shredders, our cutting mills provide laboratory precision in particle size uniformity, making these systems ideal for high-quality commercial cannabis production.

Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-OES) is a well-established technique that provides sensitive, accurate, and precise measurements of the concentration of elements across a range of applications.

However, as with any technique, errors can occur during sample preparation and measurement, or as a result of operational issues with the instrument.

Watch this video to find out more about how ICP-OES works, some of the common challenges faced and choosing the right instrument for your needs.

How To Prevent Common ICP-OES Instrument Problems

The mite probably emerged from a plant growth soil called carolina soil from Brazil. It was found in a leaf of a plant of the species Calísia repens after leaf chlorosis induced by sodium fluoride (NaF) in 100 mM concentration. The images were collected in 100X magnification. An interesting detail is that this mite is eager to suck the bacteria present on the surface of the blade with its sucking hair. The adhered protozoa eat the material excreted by the mite in their faeces.

The food on your plate – how often do you think about where it has come from, the journey that it has undergone from production to delivery, to arrive on your plate as a meal? This journey is unique to specific types of foods, and as such, the climate impact of the food on your plate will differ depending on what it is you are eating. For instance, do you know how much a traditional turkey Christmas dinner contributes to climate change? A typical Christmas dinner for six people causes the equivalent of nearly 30 kg of carbon dioxide to be released into the atmosphere. This is equivalent to driving a car for three hours. How can we eat more climate-friendly foods? That's a huge topic of interest for Sarah Bridle, professor in the Physics Department at the University of Manchester. Professor Bridle had been studying dark matter and dark energy for 20 years when she started to think about our own planet, and the next 20 years and beyond. As such, she became committed to helping reduce the climate impact of food and divides her research time between food-related climate change and astrophysics. Sarah has won multiple awards for her work, including a Royal Society University Research Fellowship. Most recently, she published the book Food and Climate Change - Without the Hot Air.

Analytical Cannabis 

Speaking at The Science of Cannabis 2020 Online Symposium, Sarah Dalton, US Hemp and Cannabis Leader for Ernst & Young presented her talk on the challenges of regulating CBD from the FDA perspective.

Abstract: Recent warning letters and Consumer Updates from the FDA have sent a chill through the CBD industry. Anticipated market entrants like Coca-Cola, Mondelez, Starbucks and Kellogg’s that would have bought up much of the CBD inventory produced from a record-year of hemp cultivation have mostly stayed on the sidelines, leading to a precipitous fall in hemp and hemp derivative prices. This regulatory uncertainty is leading CBD companies to come up with novel approaches to develop and market their products while staying afloat in this volatile market. Join Sarah as she discusses what the current FDA position on CBD is, projected regulatory rules and pathways, existing CBD products and their ability to market medical claims including OTC monograph topicals, and the role of individual states in regulating CBD, THC and minor cannabinoids.

Speaking at The Science of Cannabis 2020 Online Symposium, Jeffrey Williams, Scientist IIII from Cayman Chemical Company delivered his talk on phytocannabinoids

Abstract: Plant varieties of Cannabis are known to contain a large number of structurally unique bioactive chemicals known as phytocannabinoids. While the methods for isolation can deliver high quality products, isomerization or oxidative by-products may form during processing resulting in degradation of product purity. Identifying these unknown impurities is a crucial step for process improvements to obtain cannabis isolates.
