Cannabinoids are small organic molecules which bind to specialized receptors on cells in the body and brain. Several different cannabinoids have been identified, many of which are believed to have distinct medicinal effects. While potency testing for THC and CBD content is required for legal classification of marijuana vs. hemp, full cannabinoid profile testing is critical to understanding a specific product’s potential therapeutic effects.
Knowing the cannabinoid profile of medicinal cannabis and marijuana products can aid patients and health care providers in choosing the appropriate product and dose in order to maximize health benefits and minimize unwanted effects. Patients, prescribers and adult-use consumers can confidently achieve accurate dosing when using products analyzed by US Cannalytics.
US Cannalytics utilizes high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled with diode array detection (DAD) to quantify the concentrations of 17 active cannabinoids in virtually any known matrix.

| Δ8-THC | Delta-8-tetrahydrocannabinol |
| THCVa | Tetrahydrocannabivarinic Acid |
| THCV | Tetrahydrocannabivarin |
| CBDa | Cannabidiolic Acid |
| CBD | Cannabidiol |
| CBDVa | Cannabidivarinic Acid |
| CBDV | Cannabidivarin |
| CBNa | Cannabinolic Acid |
| CBN | Cannabinol |
