General description

11-nor-9-Carboxy-Δ9-THC, also known as THC acid, is the main secondary metabolite of Δ9-THC found in urine or blood of cannabis users. This certified reference solution is suitable as starting materials in the preparation of calibrators and controls for THC testing by GC/MS or LC/MS in forensic analysis, urine drug testing, or clinical toxicology.

Application

  • Development and Validation of LC-HRMS for Cannabinoids in Whole Blood: This study introduces a liquid chromatography high-resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS) method for quantifying cannabinoids, demonstrating its application in determining recent cannabis use, highlighting the relevance of THC metabolites like (±)-11-nor-9-Carboxy-Δ9-THC as analytical standards (DeGregorio et al., 2020).
  • Enhanced LC-MS-MS Technique for Distinguishing Tetrahydrocannabinol Isomers: Research focused on an improved LC-MS-MS method capable of distinguishing Δ8- and Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol isomers in biological specimens, pertinent for forensic toxicology using standards such as (±)-11-nor-9-Carboxy-Δ9-THC (Reber et al., 2022).
  • Toxicogenetic Analysis of Δ9-THC-metabolizing Enzymes: This study explores the metabolism of THC, providing insights into the toxicogenetics of cannabinoid-metabolizing enzymes, relevant for drug metabolism studies using (±)-11-nor-9-Carboxy-Δ9-THC as a reference material (Gasse et al., 2020).

Analysis of Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and Carboxytetrahydrocannabinol (THCCOOH) in Surface Waters by SPME and GC/MS

LC-MS/MS is a powerful tool that brings numerous benefits to the clinical sample analysis arena. However, due to the complexity of the instrumentation there are some unique challenges that also accompany these benefits. Even following sample extraction and cleanup, matrix effects from the samples can cause interferences or impact ionization efficiency.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
