Analytical Methods for Cannabis Characterization
Description:
Cannabis derived products are becoming more and more popular in the last few years. One reason is the recent farm bill of 2018 that legalizes hemp at the federal level in the US. Hemp is a variety of Cannabis sativa high on cannabidiol (CBD), containing less than 0.3% tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Because of this, lately we have seen a tremendous increase in products containing CBD, which claim to have remarkable health properties. With the massive existence of products on the market (oils, lotions, edibles, dietary supplements, etc.) it is highly important to develop instrumental analytical methods for the chemical characterization of these products. This includes analysis of solvents, trace metals, pesticides, mycotoxins, cannabinoids and terpenes, to name a few. There are no official standard methods for these types of analyses at this time. Each individual lab usually develops its own analytical methodologies. For these reasons, this will be a very useful session for those scientists working in the field of cannabis chemical analysis.
Brief summary/overview: this Symposia will feature talks from Industry and University, focusing on analytical methods and best practices for the analysis of cannabis products (from plants to commercial products).
Organizer: Imma Ferrer - University of Colorado
Biography: Dr. Imma Ferrer is an Associate Researcher at the University of Colorado in Boulder (USA). She completed her Ph.D. on the development of LC-MS techniques for the detection of pesticides in the environment at the University of Barcelona in 1999. Afterwards, she did a post-doc with the U.S. Geological Survey at the National Water Quality Laboratory in Denver for 3 years, where she worked on advanced mass spectrometric techniques for the analysis of pharmaceuticals in the environment. She then worked as an Assistant Professor at the University of Almeria for 5 years, developing methodologies for the analysis of pesticides in food samples using time-of-flight techniques. She has more than 25 years experience on developing methods for emerging contaminants using LC-MS techniques. She is author of more than 120 peer review papers and chapters (h-index of 51) and has co-edited 4 books on LC-MS and GC-MS applications for the analysis of organic contaminants in the environment.
