This slideshow presents some methods for processing hemp and cannabis botanical samples to determine the cannabinoids and other constituents of the samples, with implications for forensic laboratory operations and policies.
Abstract
This video will demonstrate some of the steps used at NIST to process hemp and cannabis botanical samples for the instrumental determination of cannabinoids and other constituents. The procedures shown are generalized to provide examples of laboratory operations and are not recommendations for specific methods. Sample processing steps illustrated include sample transfers, grinding, cleaning, and weighing operations, extractions, and dilutions. (Published Abstract Provided)
