Cannabis regulations often require monitoring of potentially toxic elements, some in trace amounts. In this webinar, the sources of contamination and error control methods will be discussed along with best practices for inorganic trace analysis.

Cannabis regulations often require monitoring of potentially toxic elements, some in trace amounts. Trace amounts of inorganic contamination can alter or skew elemental analysis, providing inaccurate results, and ultimately fails the products being tested. In this webinar, the sources of contamination and error control methods will be discussed along with best practices for inorganic trace analysis

Understand the ways and routes in which contamination can enter cannabis and hemp products and how to eliminate or control additional contamination in testing.

Review best practices for common laboratory sample preparation and dilution techniques used in inorganic sample preparation to reduce contamination and error.

Learn the appropriate calculations and use of inorganic reference materials and how to translate common conversions to reduce calculation errors.
