Analytical Cannabis 

Speaking at The Science of Cannabis Testing 2021 online symposium, Brian Smith, PhD, CEO & Chief Technical Officer, of Big Sur Scientific presented his talk on mid-infrared spectroscopy for cannabis products.

Abstract: Cannabis is medicine…test it like medicine! The pharmaceutical industry testing paradigm is to test in-house all raw materials, after each manufacturing step, and final products. The cannabis industry needs to adopt this paradigm to make cannabis medicines that are safe, effective, and profitable. To this end we have developed a small, rugged, portable mid-infrared spectrometer that accurately measures cannabinoid and terpene profiles in cannabis biomass, extracts, distillates, and final products. The spectrometer requires no messy or expensive sample preparation, is pre-calibrated so it works out of the box, and features push button operation so anyone can use it. How the analyser works, is calibrated and validated, and how it has already benefitted many cannabis businesses around the world will be discussed.

Exploring Data Management in the Lab of the Future - Connecting Chromatography Workflows From Development to Manufacturing

Speaking at The Science of Cannabis Cultivation Online Symposium in December 2021, Brian Smith, PhD, CEO & Chief Technical Officer of Big Sur Scientific presented a method of analyzing cannabinoids in cannabis biomass by mid-infrared spectroscopy.

Abstract: Cannabis growers need to do their own potency and terpene testing to know when to harvest, stay compliant, and optimize grows. Existing technology for this purpose is slow, expensive, and difficult to use. We have used mid-infrared spectroscopy to accurately measure cannabinoid and terpene profiles in dried, ground marijuana and hemp plant material. There is little sample preparation, the analyzer features push button operation so anyone can use it, the unit produces results in 2 minutes, and is field portable. How the analyzer is calibrated and validated will be discussed, and peer reviewed accuracy data will be presented.
