Liquid Chromatography Testing
Liquid chromatography (LC) refers to laboratory analytical methods that separate cannabis plant compounds through a liquid mobile phase passing through a stationary phase medium. High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and Ultra-High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (UHPLC) are commonly used to quantify cannabinoids, terpenes, and other secondary metabolites without requiring heat or ionization. These techniques provide precise cannabinoid profiles—including THCA, CBDA, THC, CBD, and minor cannabinoids—and are frequently referenced in breeding records to document strain composition. LC methods are non-destructive to samples and do not decarboxylate compounds, making them valuable for tracking raw plant chemistry during selection work.

Breeders use LC data to identify and stabilize specific cannabinoid and terpene ratios across generations. Accurate LC profiles allow breeders to document genetic stability and inform selection decisions for desired chemical phenotypes.
