TLC can be quite informative in the right hands.
…but if you’d done your homework you’d know that.

XD someone else did the TLC homework for us. Ah that’s a missing suspect
TLC for cannabinoids using chloroform as both the extraction solvent and mobile phase is the easiest imo, not need to complicate the process with a convoluted solvent system.

TLC will give you a good understanding, what is going on.
If you are just interested in knowing when all/most CBD is converted, the BEAM Test will be the easiest method.

you mind touching on some of these questions here?
I’ve been wanting a good public SOP

Ever heard of the beam test? It’s simple enough to see very quickly if any CBD is remaining.

You’re the best, N.
This is a CBD standard vs a D9 standard solution I compared with @AlexSiegel pigment detector. TLC is obviously quite reliable, but I thought this was interesting! 200-300 nm seems distinct.

The Pigment Tracker is a bit better for fluorescence than absorbance but I think @Photon_noir is going to help design a 2 in 1 instrument that can do both
