Using old terpene analytical standards for cart formulations.

Hey everyone crazy question, i just found an extra set of terpene standards buried in the cabinets of my analytical facility, they have been sitting in a box unopened for almost a year. any chance I could use these for some cart formulation experiments? given that they are analytical standards they must be as pure as can be.

what do you guys think??

Id just hate for these beautiful terps to go to waste, I have plenty of new standards to feed my instruments.

Check the labels carefully.

My cadabinoid analytical standards are supplied at very low conc in methanol.

Certainly the pinene is “neat”

Thanks for the response cyclopath, i figured it just wasent worth the risk, even though majority of them are neat according to sigma, id rather not risk it, ill find a use for them one way or the other though, i just ended up ordering some isolates from a terpene supplier:p much safer haha
