How it Works:

alpha-CAT is a Cannabinoid Analysis Tool which combines the simple analytical technique of thin-layer chromatography (TLC) with specific thin-layers and developing fluid.

Thanks to this new protocol the main active ingredients of the cannabis plant parts can be visualised due to a highly specific colouring reaction which represent the cannabinoids present in the sample of cannabis or cannabis product. Alpha-CAT‘s method enables the detection and identification of six (6) of the main cannabinoids present in cannabis:

• Cannabidiol (CBD)
• Cannabinol (CBN)
• Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)
• Tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV)
• Cannabigerol (CBG)
• Cannabichromene (CBC)

A minimal amount of material (0.1 gram) is needed per sample to provide a unique and effective way of analysing the cannabinoid profile in various mixtures such as plant parts of cannabis, trichome resins, oils, tinctures and edibles products (ice-creams, cookies, teas…).

alpha-CAT helps you to assess the effect of any specific strain with:

• A THC and CBD reference chart for indication of strength and potency
• Chemotype / cannabinoid profile which categorizes the strain
• Chemotype-effect chart indicateing the pharmacological effect to be expected
• A symptom-cure guide helping to determine which strain best helps to alleviate specific symptoms.
