WHAT IS POTENCY TESTING?
Potency analysis identifies these compounds and measures their levels of strength.
Cannabis potency testing normally focuses on the compounds called cannabinoids.
Cannabis is made up of over 500 chemical compounds. The most commonly tested
cannabinoids are: Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), Tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV),
Cannabidiol (CBD), Cannabidivarin (CBDV), Cannabinol (CBN), Cannabichromene
(CBC), Cannabigerol (CBG) and Cannabigerivarin (CBGV).
Cannabinoid profile and potency screening aids growers, processors, dispensaries
and quality control laboratories in knowing the level of cannabinoids in their
samples. This research shows the compound profiles of different strains and is
necessary for accurate labeling of both medicinal and recreational products.
The two most common means to accurately quantitatively determine the potency
of cannabinoid constituents are Gas and Liquid Chromatography (GC, H PLC).
