Hi everyone!
I’m a student at LSSU pursuing a B.S. in Cannabis Business and Cannabis Chemistry, and I’m spending the summer in Minnesota interning with the Department of Agriculture. I’ve been helping them set up the state’s reference lab and develop analytical testing methods for cannabis products ahead of the recreational market launch.
As part of that process, they asked me to reach out to trusted labs and communities to request SOPs we can use as reference material while building out our own validated methods. This forum came to mind, so I figured I’d throw a post up and see if anyone would be willing to share what their lab is using.
If you’re not comfortable sharing everything, I totally understand. The two areas they’re prioritizing right now are cannabinoid profiling (potency) and residual solvent testing. So if you’re open to sharing either, or even just some general insight on how your lab approaches these methods, it would go a long way.
I appreciate you taking the time to read through this, and I’m hoping to get more active on here throughout the summer. I’m also excited to connect with some of you in person at a few events this year! Sending positive energy to you all
