“Integration of Advanced Chromatography Techniques for High-Precision Testing”
- The growing sophistication of CBD products is prompting laboratories to adopt advanced chromatographic methods such as High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) for precise analysis
- These techniques help identify not only cannabidiol content but also trace amounts of THC, terpenes, residual solvents, and heavy metals to ensure consumer safety and legal compliance
- Increased demand from pharmaceutical companies for clinical-grade testing is accelerating the shift toward validated and reproducible testing protocols
- As competition intensifies, brands are leveraging third-party lab certifications to strengthen product credibility and differentiate in a saturated market
- Adoption of automation and data-integrated chromatography systems is also improving testing throughput and reducing turnaround times
- For instance, Eurofins Scientific has expanded its CBD testing capabilities in the U.S. using LC-MS and GC-MS technologies to provide full-spectrum analysis for edible, topical, and oil-based CBD products.
