B/R’s SCB-15 THC Remediation System is very flexible. It can remediate a variety of starting materials. CBD – CBG B/R developed the remediation system with CBD in mind. When CBG became popular, parameters were optimized for CBG-rich extracts and distillates. Now, you can make CBD and CBG oils that are low-THC and non-detect THC. Winterized vs Non-Winterized Crude […]
CBD products are marketed with low THC content (Low T CBD) or no THC content (T Free CBD). However, removing the psychoactive THC from the CBD can be a challenge. THC remediation involves the removal or degradation of unwanted THC from CBD. Delayed monitoring is most commonly used when a sample is collected, diluted, and then […]
Curious about Near Infrared THC/CBD Measurement? Read on to learn the basics. Near Infrared Near Infrared or NIR light is in the 700 to 2500 nm range. Various chemical bonds such as N-H, C-H, O-H absorb different wavelengths and amounts of NIR. These absorption peaks can be used to measure the concentration of a particular […]
Consumers are attracted to the purported health benefits of CBD but understand that THC naturally occurs in hemp along with other minor cannabinoids. They do not want to consume THC because they don’t want the “high” the comes along with THC or they don’t want to possibly test positive for THC in a work drug screening. […]
A Cadiot Distillation Column is also known as a Spinning Band distillation column. One application of Cadiot distillation is for wine analysis, specifically the detection of tampering during wine production. Isotopic Ratios in Wine Analysis The isotopic ratios of hydrogen and oxygen atoms in ethanol indicate if watering and illegal addition of sugars have happened […]
GMP asks the question: How do we know that the distillation equipment is operating correctly? A well designed set of GMP documents will ensure that all aspects of the equipment are installed, operating and performing correctly along with supporting documents. This assurance gives us confidence that the distillates made by the distillation system are consistently […]
Disclaimer – this post does not address all the safety issues for the crystallization of CBD, Pentane, and other volatiles. They can be very dangerous due to their low flash points. Don’t try this without consulting your safety officer and evaluating all of the possible safety concerns. As always, wear safety glasses and other personal protective […]
Refined cannabinoids such as THC or CBD are some of the most commonly sought-after compounds when performing a vacuum distillation process on crude cannabis extract. However, non-degraded terpenes can also be collected from certain materials using properly configured cannabis distillation equipment. In order to successfully distill terpenes from cannabis crude extract, the following conditions must […]
Ever wonder how THC/CBD products such as vape cartridges, dabs, and edibles are created? Read on to learn more about the cannabis oil products timeline! 1. Grow It It all starts with “the grow”. Most cannabis grows are done in a controlled room. Light, water, temperature and other environmental factors are carefully regulated to maximize […]
Vacuum pump oil contamination can prevent a distillation system from reaching low vacuums (0.01 mmHg) ideal for THC and CBD distillations. Sometimes terpenes can sneak past the cold trap and spoil the vacuum pump oil. A little bit of contamination can cause a lot of havoc in a vacuum pump. Here are a few tips […]
