Flash Chromatography For THC Remediation Explained, Part 1

Description

Flash chromatography is a separations technique that is incredibly useful in a swath of scientific practices. In the hemp and cannabis industry, flash chromatography is used primarily as a remediation method that removes products from an extract that cannot legally, or safely remain in the end product. Delta 9 THC, for example, is a legal issue in hemp based extracts that must be remediated to create a legal product. Because federal law requires that delta 9 THC levels do not exceed 0.3%. This makes the method of flash chromatography incredibly important to remove excess levels of delta 9 THC and other psychoactive cannabinoids from a hemp product so that it is safe and legal. In this episode of extrakTALKS, Dr. Jon talk about flash chromatography and how it is used in the extraction industry today.
