Abstract
This study presents the development and validation of a gas chromatography (GC) method using cryo-enrichment for the analysis of α-pinene and β-caryophyllene in Cannabis sativa plant. Cryo-enrichment is a method that involves cooling part of the GC column to improve some aspect of chromatographic analysis. The aim of this study was to improve upon previous GC cryo-enrichment prototype and to create and validate a method for the analysis of these terpene compounds, which have received increasing attention for their medicinal properties. The improved cryo-enrichment device used in this study was built in-house and used a custom-built aluminum GC column holder cooled by a two-stage cryo-cooler. The validated method was found to be precise, accurate and sensitive, with good repeatability.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Chromatographic Science is devoted to the dissemination of information concerning all methods of chromatographic analysis. The standard manuscript is a description of recent original research that covers any or all phases of a specific separation problem, principle, or method. Manuscripts which have a high degree of novelty and fundamental significance to the field of separation science are particularly encouraged. It is expected the authors will clearly state in the Introduction how their method compares in some markedly new and improved way to previous published related methods. Analytical performance characteristics of new methods including sensitivity, tested limits of detection or quantification, accuracy, precision, and specificity should be provided. Manuscripts which describe a straightforward extension of a known analytical method or an application to a previously analyzed and/or uncomplicated sample matrix will not normally be reviewed favorably. Manuscripts in which mass spectrometry is the dominant analytical method and chromatography is of marked secondary importance may be declined.
