New Food Webinar - Cannabis & CBD Edibles: Understanding current testing methods and resources available to support new users. April 21st, 2020

This webinar will introduce the audience to the cannabis and CBD industry and the analytical challenges of testing edible samples. Driven by the widespread adoption of cannabis & CBD products, the opportunity for scientists to support this market is significant but must be approached with scientific care as the pitfalls due to the matrix interference, trace level detection requirements and limited standardized methodology make this task challenging. Ben Armstrong, Lab Director, Juniper Labs will share his industry insight and focus on the analytical methods and instrumentation required to test edibles for pesticide residues, residual solvents, terpenes, heavy metals, and cannabinoids.

Key learning points:

• How edibles are formulated and then tested for THC and CBD
• Science behind testing edibles for solvents and pesticides
• Analysis of terpenes in edibles and heavy metals
• Resources for new chemists
