Alpha-CAT: Cannabinoid Analysis Tool Kit (80 tests) - Pre Order Only

Alpha-CAT: Cannabinoid Analysis Tool Kit

Alpha-CAT (Cannabinoid Analysis Tool Kit) is a user-friendly, cost-effective kit designed to analyze the cannabinoid profiles of cannabis samples. Using Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC), this innovative system visually displays the presence and concentration of cannabinoids with a simple staining reaction. Ideal for growers, researchers, or enthusiasts, the Alpha-CAT kit makes cannabis analysis accessible to everyone—even non-scientists.

What Can Alpha-CAT Detect?

Alpha-CAT is capable of identifying and quantifying six major cannabinoids commonly found in cannabis:

• CBD (Cannabidiol)

• CBN (Cannabinol)

• THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol)

• THCV (Tetrahydrocannabivarin)

• CBG (Cannabigerol)

• CBC (Cannabichromene)

The kit can analyze various cannabis-based products, including dried flowers, extracts, tinctures, resins, and edibles (e.g., biscuits, ice cream, teas), using just 0.1 grams of material per test.

How Alpha-CAT Analysis Tool Kit Works

1. Preparation:

   • Weigh 0.1 g of your sample (flowers, extracts, edibles, or other cannabis products).

   • Use the micropipette to apply a precise amount of the sample solution onto the TLC plate.

2. Analysis:

   • Immerse the TLC plate in the provided development solution.

   • Cannabinoids separate into distinct spots based on their type and concentration.

   • The size and brightness of each spot indicate the relative amount of a cannabinoid in the sample.

3. Results Interpretation:

   • Compare the results against the included calibration scale for THC and CBD.

   • Identify the strain’s chemotype fingerprint, which determines its effects and therapeutic potential.

FAQ

1. How accurate is the Alpha-CAT system?

The Alpha-CAT system provides highly reliable results for qualitative and semi-quantitative cannabinoid analysis. However, for absolute precision, laboratory-grade High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) testing is recommended.

2. Can Alpha-CAT be used to test edibles?

Yes, Alpha-CAT can analyze cannabis-infused edibles, such as baked goods, teas, and oils. Proper sample preparation is required to extract cannabinoids effectively.

3. How long does a test take?

Each test takes approximately 30-45 minutes, including sample preparation, chromatography development, and result interpretation.

4. Do I need special training to use Alpha-CAT?

No, the kit is designed to be user-friendly, and a detailed manual is provided to guide you through every step of the testing process.

5. How should I store the kit?

Store the kit in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. The chemical reagents should be kept in a sealed container to prevent degradation.

6. Can I use Alpha-CAT for legal compliance testing?

While Alpha-CAT is excellent for personal or research purposes, it is not a substitute for government-certified laboratory testing required for regulatory compliance.

7. Is it safe to use at home?

Yes, but users should follow the provided safety guidelines, work in a well-ventilated area, and wear protective gloves.
