New Perspective for the In-Field Analysis of Cannabis Samples Using Handheld Near-Infrared Spectroscopy
This study evaluates handheld NIR spectroscopy for non-destructive, in-field THC quantification in cannabis inflorescences and resins.
This study explores using handheld near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy to quantify THC levels in cannabis inflorescences and resins without complex preparation. Comparing two portable devices against UHPLC-UV benchmarks, the mid-cost reader excelled using machine-learning algorithms, demonstrating a viable, fast solution for in-field testing.
