Outline
• Review current and possible future regulaFons
• Define some guidelines we can use for developing reliable chromatographic data
• Define some recent chromatographic technologies that could help with future regulaFons and economics
• Goal is to define an approach to cannabis methods that will fit various regulaFons, if and when they apply

Has a precedent been set?
Dietary Supplements Health and Educa3on Act of 1994 (DSHEA)
• Signed by President Clinton on October 25, 1994
• Previously considered a food, then considered a drug
• Products intended to supplement health, intended for inges3on, not a conven3onal food, a biologic labeled for health
• Fell under current Good Manufacturing Prac3ces (cGMP) protocols
Ginseng
Cannabis

The Role of Chromatography
Safe Products Raw Material
Safe Cul3va3on and Consistent Processing
Reliable Chromatographic Data
Good Laboratory and Manufacturing Prac>ces (cGxP) • Safety
• Potency • Uniformity • Process / Quality
Control
To make SAFE products, establish GOOD pracFces built on RELIABLE data

Interna3onal Conference on Harmoniza3on (ICH) • The ICH has developed guidelines for the valida3on of analy3cal methods
(Quality – Q2 (R1))
• These approaches can be applied universally • Can be used to define “good chromatography” and to guide strong
analy3cal methods and prac3ces
• Accuracy • Precision • Specificity • Limit of DetecFon • Limit of QuanFtaFon
• Linearity • Range • Repeatability • Intermediate Precision
(Ruggedness) • System Suitability

techniques
• Delta 9 THC in a clean solvent
• The “true” value for the sample was reported to be 201 ppm.

Summary
Thanks to all the collaborators at Restek
• Safe products come from sound analyFcal methods and processes
• RegulaFon, in some form, is inevitable. Build for that likelihood now by considering industry norms
• Choosing the ”best” analyFcal technique can help
• Chromatography know-‐how can then be applied to hit the right analyFcal and financial plans
