How Cannabis Is Tested (wrong transcription)

think do you know your medicine meet maps
0:05
as laboratories bring the human educational series
0:08
the signs cannabis
0:14
today's doctor bottles
0:16
just laboratories comments marijuana test
0:20
doctor bonnie Goldstein arrived at SC laboratories
0:26
and was given the whole tour the facilities as well as insight on the
0:30
process
0:30
out medical marijuana is tested
0:34
the samples first develop a chain of custody from the dispensary
0:37
up until delivery of results this assures that no samples are compromised
0:42
or tampered with
0:43
trust integrity and reproducibility
0:47
are the most important aspects to the testing facility if a facility is
0:52
lacking
0:53
and these aspects it would make any test results
0:56
produces less credible what's the samples are brought to the lapd
1:01
they are insurgents you the laboratory inventory management system
1:05
ornaments to potentially tracked throughout the testing process
1:09
a visual inspection using a high magnification dissecting microscope is
1:14
conducted and recorded
1:15
in surveillance system the samples then gets stored in a temperature and
1:20
humidity control refrigerator
1:22
under lock and key each sample is stored in the file labeled with the sample ID
1:27
correlating to its profile in the lib system testing process begins with Wayne
1:32
the samples the correct amount needed for the potency test
1:35
sample is frozen dry ice and then try a technically Mills
1:40
a ground-up to a fine powder to allow the Canaanites to completely dissolve
1:44
the solutions needed to run through the lab sensitive instrumentation
1:48
after the samples ground-up precisely measured volume of solution is added to
1:54
the sample
1:54
and then run through reports X this renders the sample
1:58
no longer fit for consumption vortex at
2:01
sample to help evenly distribute the Canaanites incidents
2:05
huge the sample is then placed in a sonic back
2:08
season for the separate the Canaanites from the plant matter
2:12
the sonic back posts on ways to the sample
2:16
and is able to transfer the remaining 10 Avenue it's from the plant matter
2:19
inside the solution the same technologies
2:23
Stickley roster of drawing for to clean teeth in a dentist's office
2:27
the sample was then clinton's centrifuge which spins the mixture at high speeds
2:33
this pushes all the solid plan particles to the bottom of the pile
2:37
allowing the lab technicians to extract a nap
2:40
solution from the top SC laboratories uses methods established by the UN no DC
2:46
as well as the Dutch Pharmacopoeia success for parts the piece to pesticide
2:51
and microbiological tests on standards established by
2:54
the yet FDA United States Pharmacopoeia
2:58
and other governing bodies rather than develop so-called proprietary methods
3:04
St laboratories follows these national and international guidelines to allow
3:08
their test results the standups appears truant
3:11
as well as provide protection for their clients the safety of their medicine is
3:15
ever challenged the solution is diluted once more
3:18
and placed in on a sample vial to be loaded
3:22
the high-performance liquid chromatographic for HPLC
3:26
first essential instrument in the potency testing process
3:30
there are two techniques which are capable of measuring points
3:34
in tennis gas chromatography and high-performance liquid chromatography
3:39
they are used to determine how much of each component is present in a sample
3:44
where these two instruments differ is that a gas chromatograph applies heat in
3:48
the testing process
3:49
since cannabis is comprised of many components that are heat-sensitive
3:53
the gas chromatograph is unable to measure many the primary contaminants
3:58
found in cannabis
3:59
for example chce occurs implants in several different forms
4:04
including small amounts adults a 98 C and large amounts of THC a
4:09
when THC is he'd it converts mostly until tonight CHC
4:14
gas chromatograph can only measure the Chi Chi /a that is converted into delta
4:18
nine
4:19
after the healing process and cannot distinguish it from the deaths nine
4:22
hours already there
4:23
this is similar to try to measure the weekend with a piece of wood
4:27
by the way ashes that are left over in your fireplace
4:30
s laboratories affirms thats striving to high-performance liquid chromatography
4:36
is the only method guarantee trailer and more accurate results
4:40
the high-performance liquid chromatographic
4:43
runs the Canaanites should to recall that includes
4:46
nonpolar stationary phase as the different components in the mixture
4:50
passed through the column
4:52
they stick to the particles column similar to how statically typed balloon
4:56
whilst the clothing different compounds ticked
5:00
for a longer time depending on the polarity this separates
5:04
components the next allow him to be measured by you
5:08
the photodiode array for pesticide testing
5:11
the samples additionally one through a mass spectrometer which is able to
5:15
detect particles
5:16
even greater detail there was a similar principle many pesticides
5:20
fungicides and plant growth regulators are she sensitive compounds as well
5:25
which makes liquid chromatography with mass spectrometer techniques
5:28
superiors in this instance as well another instrument
5:32
SC laboratories disposal is a real time PCR
5:36
which is able to quantify exactly how much officer in molecule
5:40
is present in a sample this instrument to be used to detect
5:43
single or bacterial components of a sample if calibrated correctly
5:47
it can even determine the limit specific strains
5:51
many other methods to days or even weeks to have conclusive results
5:55
father real-time PCR is able to produce test results in as little as 30 minutes
6:00
SC laps the first company to bring this new and exciting technology to the
6:04
cannabis industry
6:06
the Yelchin celeste is another advanced instrument that is able to give up very
6:10
comprehensive
6:11
reading of what kinda mold or bacteria is present in the sample
6:16
the solution is placed in the growth medium which allows the bacteria to
6:19
incubate
6:21
it gives off a CEO to change the pH level of the solution
6:25
us changing the color the growth medium the Solaris has optical detectors second
6:29
measure the exact color change
6:32
that's producing accurate measurement of bacteria East
6:35
and mold levels all of these machines for their test results to the laboratory
6:41
inventory management system and compile into a centralized security database
6:45
of test results on the 10 haven't profile
6:48
in this live report people see total breakdown of tht
6:52
CBD and Symbian concepts a lot can be determined from a lab report
6:58
if there's a lot more THC tht
7:01
might indicate the sample was not given enough time the curing process for the
7:05
team's
7:05
Stanford staged on the other end of the spectrum
7:10
there's a lot of CBN suppose teams get my
7:13
in the the sample has been issued for far too long
7:17
just needed to speak this yet to break down dipped
7:20
see it is not actually produced by the plant its life cycle
7:25
India all this can happen his contract
7:28
each other since just this possible slices 30 THC
7:32
pharmaceuticals had negative affect some to expand
7:37
because to use only phenomenon said
7:40
meets it is believed that the absence of all the other two methods
7:44
are responsible for the negative side this
7:47
each patient may have a different preference for different dynamic
7:50
migrations
7:50
which is why tonight profiles are so important even know what
7:55
should make it the same stream over and over again its can happily profile me
7:59
very
7:59
batch to batch resulting in a different effect each time in
8:04
agent information it is vital that patients no one is
8:08
ms whether it be policy levels for pesticide levels
8:11
permission given in test results allow the patient to have more control
8:16
and knowledge over the experience and interaction with Ms
8:19
yes laboratories would like to ask every nation out there
8:23
you know your medicine Inc
