Testing for Pesticides and Mycotoxins in Cannabis: How to Meet Regulatory Requirements
As more states legalize cannabis, increasingly stringent testing requirements are being developed on the state level for pesticide and mycotoxin levels in cannabis products. Cannabis is a very complex matrix, which makes testing to the specified levels a challenge for many laboratories. Avinash Dalmia, a principal R&D Scientist with PerkinElmer, has been working to solve this problem using a liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) method with electrospray ionization (ESI) and atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI). Here, Dalmia discusses that research and previews an upcoming paper on the topic for our September issue.
