Chromatograms Now Available on LightLab CoA

A chromatogram is the raw data used by LightLab as well as laboratory HPLCs to generate cannabinoid content results. LightLab 3 can provide even more insight into the samples you are testing, for example:

  • Provide raw data for review by scientists familiar with HPLC Analysis
  • Identify minor cannabinoids present below detection limits
  • Identify contaminants or unwanted cannabinoids
  • Identify issues with samples or troubleshoot your LightLab
  • Visually represent the quantitative data in a way that scientists can interpret
  • Provide a chemical fingerprint that bolsters confidence in LightLab quantitative or qualitative results

Unlike typical HPLC analysis that relies on only one wavelength for quantification, LightLab 3 uses multiple wavelengths which increases the ability to separate compounds since both spectroscopy and chromatography are used in tandem. The LightLab 3 chromatogram includes two wavelength channels, which provides a detailed fingerprint of your sample and enhances any qualitative analysis of your data.

Chromatograms can be accessed by updating your LightLab 3 LE to the latest software version. Once the update is complete, the chromatograms can be accessed in three ways:

  • On a LightLab 3 Certificate of Analysis (COA)
  • On-screen by swiping up or down on the results screen
  • As an Excel-compatible file on the thumb drive when data is exported
