Residual Solvents

To produce highly-concentrated oils and waxes, solvents such as acetone, ethanol and butane are used to extract cannabinoids and terpenes from marijuana and hemp plant material. These harmful solvents must then be removed from final products to ensure they do not pose serious health risks when inhaled or ingested.

Kaycha uses Gas Chromatography with Mass Spectrometry detection and headspace autosampling to quantify harmful solvents, impurities, or adulterants down to sub parts-per-million (PPM) concentrations.
