Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy offers a fast and efficient method for quantifying cannabidiol (CBD) in cannabis oils, surpassing traditional techniques like High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). It provides quick, accurate results, making it ideal for routine quality control.
By using an Attenuated Total Reflectance (ATR) accessory, FTIR spectrometers measure absorbance at specific infrared peaks that correlate with CBD content. The ATR technology allows direct analysis of liquid samples, reducing the need for dilution or additional chemicals, cutting down preparation time and minimizing errors.
The Lyza 7000 FTIR spectrometer from Anton Paar optimizes the process with its intuitive five-step quantification, simplifying workflows and ensuring consistent data. This streamlined testing method allows cannabis oil producers to quickly assess product quality and maintain consistency without complex procedures or extensive chemical use.
