Cannabis Testing Standards As the Cannabis industry grows, various stakeholders are working towards standardization within the industry. Cayman provides analytical reference standards and ISO 17034-produced Certified Reference Materials to identify and quantitatively measure the components found in Cannabis products to aid in potency testing, terpene profiling, and analysis of contaminants. Along with single-component standards, we specialize in the production of pre-made, multi-component mixtures that are designed to improve quantitation accuracy and streamline workflows.

PHYTOCANNABINOID GUIDE NAMING BIOSYNTHESIS, NAMING, AND NUMBERING NUMBERING CONVENTIONS CONVENTIONS When naming phytocannabinoids, the prefix “cannabi” always appears in the main scaffold which CLASSIC OLIVETOL SERIES The two most common conventions for numbering THC are the dibenzopyran and 1 drives the name and acronym of each compound. The resorcinol root will designate the original C5 monoterpene systems.2,3 The biphenyl and Lord Alexander Todd numbering series and its C3 and C1 homologs. Listed here are the main scaffolds observed in phytocannabinoids. Olivetolic phytocannabinoids are considered classic, as these are systems are older and less common.2,3 A simple terpenoid numbering system is Because of the prevalence of the olivetolic root, the standard names will all contain the suffix -OL or used for CBC, CBG, CBE, and CBL structures.3,4 –NOL, with a few exceptions. When describing the C3 and C1 homologs, the scaffold name is amended the compounds that are ubiquitous to all varietals of marijuana. This by dropping the -OL and replacing the suffix with -VARIN/VARINOL (C3) or -ORCIN/ORCINOL (C1). series is not only the most dominant in the Cannabis species but The orcinolic series is unique in that the suffix has also been placed within the scaffold name Most Common Systems (-ORC- as in cannabichromene → cannabiorcochromene).
