Application Note: Purification of Cannabimimetics and Cannabinoids for Standard Reference Materials and Forensic Analysis via Flash Chromatography
15 July 2015
The market for synthetic cannabinoids has grown since 2008 beginning when the “spice herbal mixture” was introduced. Although the original “spice” compounds have been outlawed in many countries, renegade chemists have produced new cannabimimetic compounds that are not illegal. This application note describes how Telendyne’s Isco Combi-Flash systems and RediSep Rf Gold columns can be used to purify these new compounds for structural characterization in a forensic setting.
