MeasuringTHC inButter
using theSRI 8610CGC
TheTHC inbutter analyseswere
performed using anSRI 8610C
GC configured for cannabinoid
analysis.
100milligrams of a cannabis oil
wasweighed into two identical
40ml vials. The oil was aCO2 ex-
tract with an orange color.
We used the oil for this test
because it was very uniform in
consistency.
The first vial was filledwithmetha-
nol and placed in the built-in sam-
ple incubator which is part of this
GC configuration. To the second
vial was added 1 gram of butter.
The butter vial was placed in the
incubatorWITHOUT solvent until
the buttermelted and dissolved
the cannabis oil. The cannabis oil
could clearly be seen to dissolve in
the butter. The incubator was set
to 50C. A third vial with no oil was
loadedwith 1 gram of butter for
comparison.
