Includes a certified reference material (CRM) mixture of target compounds. Also includes a service package to coverThe Shimadzu Cannabis Analyzer for Potency captures the spirit of an Analyzer – a comprehensive package integrating instrument hardware, software, consumables, and analytical workflow. Includes a certified reference material (CRM) mixture of target compounds. Also includes a service package to cover preventive maintenance and warranty for three years, plus free technical support for the life of the product. The solution is ready to use after one day of installation and testing, and requires no time-consuming method development on the part of the analyst.
Choice of three proven HPLC methods: - High Throughput HPLC Method Package – Designed for analysis of the 10 most commonly requested cannabinoids in under 8 minutes. This is the original method developed by Shimadzu in collaboration with industry laboratories. (Does not include THCV.)
- High Sensitivity HPLC Method Package – Adds THCV to the target analyte list, with an instrument cycle time of under 10 minutes. The short analysis time produces the sharpest chromatographic peaks for the best overall sensitivity.
- High Resolution HPLC Method Package – Presents full baseline resolution for all 11 compounds and an analysis time under 30 minutes. This method is preferred for research purposes, or when additional compounds must be added to the analysis in response to new state regulatory requirements.

Manual solvent preparation, column switching, and method programming are time-consuming steps, so the Nexera method Method scouting is a process where different mobile phases and column stationary phases are evaluated to determine the best set of separation conditions for a particular sample. Manual solvent preparation, column switching, and method programming are time-consuming steps, so the Nexera method scouting system was developed to streamline the entire process for more efficient method development.
The system is based around 2 LC-30AD pumps, each with a quaternary valve, which allows the analyst to run binary gradients with 16 different solvent pairs. A high-pressure column selection valve holds from 1 to 6 columns, resulting in up to 96 unique separation conditions per sample. Ultra-high speed conditions can be easily transferred to conventional conditions using a transfer program. In addition, scouting is performed automatically when the mobile phase is switched.
The Nexera Method Scouting Solution software has intuitive, user-friendly screens to set the pump and column valve positions, gradient program steps, and it automatically builds the sequence table in seconds. Method Scouting Solution provides the data required for analysis via a graphical user interface, as well as automated controls conforming to laboratory operations configured in the system settings.
