Cannabis Extraction Equipment

Proper extraction is a critical step before cannabis samples can be tested for potency or for a range of contaminants including pesticides, residual solvents, heavy metals, moisture, and microbes.

• For raw sample processing, grinders and mills of various sizes are available. These units are specifically designed for cryogenic grinding and pulverizing of tough and/or temperature sensitive samples in a grinding vial immersed in liquid nitrogen.
• High-vacuum pumping units are employed in the distillation process, making it possible to isolate specific cannabinoids such as THC or CBD.
• Headspace samplers make it possible for even the most chemically active compounds to be analyzed using a GC system, helping to eliminate the dead volume and absorption effects, typical of sample loops and transfer lines, which can also impede their detection at very low levels.
