Be sure to check out the research and presentations that Modern Canna has participated in relating to agricultural agents in cannabis and hemp material.
The Matrix Effect - Why Cannabis Testing is Complicated
When testing cannabis materials for agricultural agents, the matrices of the products often create difficulties for the laboratories processing the samples. In this presentation, Modern Canna's CSO, Jini, discusses how laboratories can combat the matrix effect to ensure the accuracy of their data.
Agricultural Agents research featured in Volume 53, Issue 1 of ASTM’s Journal of Testing and Evaluation:
"Agricultural Agents: Utilizing Matrix Calibrations for the Accurate Quantification of Contaminants in Cannabis Products" highlights the critical role of matrix calibrations, internal standards, and robust method development in ensuring legally defensible contaminant testing in cannabis products. With agricultural agent residues posing significant health risks, our research provides key insights into identifying and mitigating matrix interferences, reinforcing the importance of precise testing.
