The Challenge
Cannabis derived medicines are widely used for managing epilepsy, chronic pain, and other conditions but with inconsistent labelling and natural variation between strains, ensuring correct cannabinoid dosage is a challenge. Regulatory bodies like the FDA have flagged major discrepancies in product content versus label claims. This can risk patient safety, undercut clinical trust, and invite legal repercussions.

A Different Approach
Ellutia provides a precise, reproducible method for cannabinoid quantification using the 200 Series GC paired with liquid autosampling. Designed specifically for medicinal cannabis workflows, this system simplifies accurate THC, CBD, and CBN profiling across oils, tinctures, and edibles without the need for complex lab setups.

WHY CANNABINOID PROFILING MATTERS
-
Therapeutic Accuracy: Minor shifts in cannabinoid ratios can dramatically impact clinical outcomes.
-
Regulatory Integrity: With global moves toward full chemical transparency, potency accuracy is no longer optional.
-
Patient Safety: Under‑ or over‑labelling of THC/CBD content can lead to serious side effects or ineffective treatment.

Regulatory Compliance
Mislabelled products have already triggered FDA warnings. Potency testing using 200 Series GC supports alignment with MHRA, FDA, and EU‑GMP expectations for medicinal cannabis ensuring reliable dosing, transparent labelling, and traceable records.

RELIABLE RESULTS WITHOUT COMPLEX SAMPLE PREP
Unlike methods requiring headspace, Ellutia’s workflow uses liquid injection proven more representative for complex cannabis matrices. The system delivers:
-
Pre‑set method files via Ellution software
-
Clear resolution of THC, CBD, CBN and other markers
-
Repeatable results across batches and product types

MISSED OUR WEBINAR? DETECTING UNEXPECTED NITROSAMINE CONTAMINATION
One of the biggest challenges in nitrosamine analysis is identifying contaminants you’re not expecting. Standard testing methods like GC or LC can detect known nitrosamines but only if you have the right reference standards. Unexpected nitrosamines, however, can easily go unnoticed.
In this webinar, we explore practical analytical strategies that can help uncover potential nitrosamine contaminants even when specific standards aren't available. If your current methods rely heavily on predefined targets, this session will highlight ways to reduce risk and gain a clearer picture of contamination.
