How do you Decarboxalate, what method do you use?

I read some technical description that decarbin needs 250F for a set amount of time, but with some observation of extracts tested with liquid chromatography, just using Iso/Acetone/Ethanol and adding a bit of water, and boiling off the water will fully decarb the extract. So, what I am saying, is just evaporating off the solvent with heat will decarb completely if it reaches water boiling point just for a bit. Seems contrary to the information out there, but this has been the lab testing results.

thats because most of the information out there is either a lie or an incomplete undrstanding of the processes at hand... which is why i prefer to only read articles that start with abstract vs wikipedia

just letting it evaporate completely will decarb..i dont feel like googling it but i dont know of anything else decarboxylated using heat, most things that are decarboxylated are in solution and so are focused on using a chem reaction to release the co2 which in turn breaks the bond realeasing the h2o. when we decarb weed, instead we decided focusing on the removal of h2o is easiest, simply boiling off the water is the fastest way that is all your doing, when doing this to a heat sensitive chemical its more productive if longer to just let it sit..also you can isomerize your solution pretty easily anyway im high felt like talkin

Here are the results of some other lab testing:
