Specialist Analysis of Cannabinoids in CBD Products and Medicinal Cannabis
Cannabis has been used for medicinal purposes for thousands of years, but it is only recently that scientists have started to uncover its potential benefi ts. Cannabidiol (CBD) is a well-studied compound found in cannabis that has been shown to have a wide range of potential healing benefi ts without the psychoactive effects associated with tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).
Laboratory analysis plays a crucial role in the study of medicinal cannabis. By analysing the chemical makeup of cannabis-derived samples, scientists can determine the exact concentrations of CBD, THC, and other cannabinoid compounds, as well as any contaminants or impurities that may be present.
SOCOTEC UK is a cutting-edge laboratory that specialises in the analysis of cannabinoids in CBD products and medicinal cannabis. They can help manufacturers and dispensaries to provide patients with safe and effective medicine by testing for contaminants, such as pesticides and heavy metals, which can be harmful to patients.
Terpenes are also an important test for cannabis products. These compounds are responsible for the distinct aromas of different cannabis strains, and they potentially have a wide range of medicinal properties. By analysing the terpene profi le of a cannabis sample, SOCOTEC UK can help manufacturers and dispensaries to provide patients with the most effective medicine for their specifi c needs.
The development of standardised products is another important application of laboratory analysis in the fi eld of medicinal cannabis. This ensures that patients are getting the same medical dosage every time, which is particularly important for those using cannabis to treat serious conditions.
Laboratory analysis can help to identify new uses for cannabis. By studying the chemical makeup and interactions of different strains of the plant, scientists may discover new compounds that have medicinal properties. This can lead to the development of new treatments for a wide range of conditions, from chronic pain to mental health disorders.
As more countries legalise medicinal cannabis and an increased number of people turn to it for relief, laboratory analysis will play a crucial role in ensuring that patients have access to safe, effective medicines. SOCOTEC UK is at the forefront of this fi eld, providing state-of-the-art testing and analysis services to manufacturers, dispensaries, and others.

Launching in 2023 from Analytix is the latest innovation in microwave digestion, the Milestone ultraWAVE 3 that has higher capacity, lower running costs, and minimal handling to speed up the sample preparation stage. A top temperature of 300°C and an operating pressure up to 199 bar enables complete digestion of the most diffi cult samples.
The system allows digestion of different samples with different sample weights using different acids all in the same digestion run so there is no need to batch samples of the same type into separate runs.
Very little method development is required with high throughput being achieved through extremely fast heating coupled with a cooled chamber that can reduce total run times to as low as 20 minutes. Operation is so simple that all you need to do is weigh your sample into a disposable low cost vial, load it onto the support rack and press ‘START’, there is also no lengthy capping and uncapping procedure required.
