Abstract: Introduction: Cannabinoid-containing consumer products exist in a market having fragmented regulations, with cannabis-based formulations falling under different legal classifications depending on their authorisation, source and potency. These products must comply with regulatory limits on Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), typically 0.2%, and should provide information on cannabidiol (CBD) content. Discrepancies between labelled and measured CBD concentration have been reported. In response, European agencies have called for strengthened monitoring of cannabis products and improved data on potency and composition.
Aims: The aim is to identify matrix-driven analytical challenges affecting cannabinoid quantification when using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography with Ultraviolet detection (HPLC-UV).
