Gc Ms Testing
Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) is an analytical chemistry technique used to identify and quantify individual terpene compounds in cannabis samples. The method separates volatile organic compounds by heating plant material, then detects and measures each component's molecular signature. GC-MS serves as an industry standard for terpene profiling because of its precision and reproducibility. Unlike broader screening methods, GC-MS provides detailed breakdowns of specific terpenes—limonene, myrcene, pinene, and dozens of others—present in a given sample. Breeders and labs rely on GC-MS data to track genetic consistency and verify terpene ratios across generations.

Breeders use GC-MS results to document and compare terpene profiles across cultivars, helping identify stable genetic markers and select for desired aromatic compounds. Consistent GC-MS data across seed batches or clones supports claims of phenotypic stability and informs targeted crossing programs.
