Chromatographic Screening
Chromatographic screening refers to laboratory techniques used to analyze and separate cannabinoid and terpene profiles in cannabis plant material. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and gas chromatography (GC) are the primary methods breeders and researchers employ to quantify cannabinoid ratios, detect minor cannabinoids, and map terpene composition. These analytical approaches provide objective data independent of visual assessment or sensory evaluation. Chromatographic data has become foundational to modern breeding documentation, allowing breeders to track genetic consistency across generations and identify novel chemotype expressions within established lineages.

Breeders use chromatographic screening to phenotype crosses objectively, verify cannabinoid stability in F2+ generations, and select for specific minor cannabinoid expression (CBG, CBC, THCV). This data supports informed lineage documentation and supports reproducible breeding records.
