Color Remediation Chromatography (CRC): The Complete Guide

What Is Color Remediation Chromatography? A color remediation column is a 3 to 6 inch stainless column packed with 0.8 to 3.2 kg of layered adsorbent, in the WKU stack 75 percent T5 bleaching clay, 12 percent magnesium silicate and 12 percent silica gel over a 5 micron sintered disk, run inline at 1 to [...]

Follow These Steps for the Highest THC Potency: Devolatilization & Decarboxylation Explained

If you’re running a cannabis extraction lab and skipping devolatilization before distillation, you’re making a costly mistake — both in product quality and safety. This is the step that separates amateur operators from professionals who consistently produce high-potency THC distillate.When to skip pre-distillation decarb: Some processors intentionally distill non-decarbed crude to produce THCa-rich crystalline isolate, [...]

Cannabis Distillation: The Theory Every Lab Operator Needs to Know

Cannabis distillation is a boiling-point separation run under deep vacuum. Every compound in your crude, the terpenes, the cannabinoids, and the residual solvents, carries a different vapor pressure, and vacuum is the lever that lets you exploit those differences without cooking the product. At atmospheric pressure THC will not distill cleanly because it starts to [...]

Preparative Chromatography for Cannabinoid Isolation: Column Selection, Mobile Phase, Loading, and Cost per Gram

Preparative HPLC of cannabinoids with an ethanol mobile phase runs on C18 at 70 percent ethanol in water by volume, the composition where CBD and THC separate with a selectivity of 2.2. Production gradients climb from 70 to 90 percent ethanol and the column is cleaned at 90. Below 50 percent ethanol the cannabinoid oil [...]
