We start by determining the levels of delta9-THC and THCA in the sample, and in rare cases, delta8-THC when it is present. The THCA amount is multiplied by a factor of 0.877 to account for the decarboxylation that takes place when the product is heated or smoked. Adding all these values together results in the total THC content.
Most cannabinoids are quite stable over time within dried cannabis, and we maintain samples at a consistent temperature level. Acidic cannabinoids will naturally convert to neutral forms; you may
expect higher levels of D9-THC in a very old sample resulting from THCA degradation. Cannabinoid stability also depends on what else is in the product. pH and carbonation levels have an impact on cannabinoid content in infused beverages, as an example.
When making edible cannabis products, usually some type of extract is used. A heating process converts the THCA into D9-THC, the psychoactive form. The conversion is not always 100% complete, therefore small amounts of unconverted THCA may be present. This is why it is also important to test the starting material as well as the final product.
HPLC is the best method for cannabinoid analysis since it allows for quick separation of all the components without affecting the profile. GC may also be used but since high heat is used in the separation, some of the cannabinoids will convert.
