(a) Use the same integration parameters for the test solutions as for the calibration curve solutions by choosing the same peak width, threshold settings, and other integration parameters. Use peak area for quantification. Calculate the concentration of each cannabinoid in the test sample using the slope of the calibration curve and the following

10 mL Test sample mass (g)

equation.

Peak Area in test sample Slope ×

Conc. in test sample (% w/w) =

G. Reference Materials Used

(a) All calibration curves are prepared using certified reference materials at a concentration of 1 mg/mL (Cerilliant Corp.) or else purchased powdered (Toronto Research Chemicals).
