Sample preparation of cannabis
24 Mar 2023The concentrations of cannabinoids and terpenoids are the main points of interest in the quality control of cannabis-related products. To ensure reliable analytical results, the sample preparation process for cannabis needs to be adaptable to the considerable complexity of the various plant matrices. Learn more about the challenges associated with the cannabis sample preparation process and how Retsch has introduced the Mixer Mill MM 400 including an adapter for 8 x 50 mL Falcon tubes and a series of testing started in order to find out the optimal sample filling, grinding time, homogenization grade, reproducibility of the ground samples and sample residues.

Sample PreparationSample preparation can improve the quality and speed of separation techniques. Products to assist sample preparation include filtration equipment, evaporators, membranes and sieves.Mills, Sieves and PressesMills, sieves and presses are used to break and sort solid materials into smaller particle sizes for further processing such as pellet pressing or analysis. Milling equipment includes grinders, ball mills, cutting mills, jaw crushers, knife mills, beater and planetary mills. Sorting of smaller particulates can be achieved with test sieves and sieve shakers. Final powders can be pressed with hydraulic presses. Milling and pressing solid samples is an important preparation step in X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF) and diffraction (XRD).
