Description

(+/-)-11-Nor-9-Carboxy-Delta9-THC-D9 is a primary carboxylic acid metabolite of δ-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (δ9-THC). This compound matters significantly as a critical reference standard and analytical calibrant for forensic and clinical toxicology testing. It is essential for laboratories requiring precise quantification of THC metabolites in biological matrices. Industries that need this product include forensic science laboratories, clinical research organizations, and manufacturers of diagnostic immunoassays and chromatography kits.

Application

• Forensic Toxicology Reference Standard: Primary calibrant for the confirmatory analysis of THCCOOH in urine, blood, and oral fluid samples using GC-MS or LC-MS/MS.
• Clinical Research & Drug Monitoring: Used to validate and calibrate assays studying cannabinoid metabolism, pharmacokinetics, and exposure levels in human subjects.
• Diagnostic Kit Manufacturing: A key component in the production and quality control of immunoassay kits (e.g., ELISA) for workplace drug testing and roadside screening.
• Method Development & Validation: Serves as an essential standard for developing, optimizing, and accrediting (ISO/IEC 17025) analytical methods in testing laboratories.
• Pharmaceutical Impurity Profiling: Used in the analysis and control of potential impurities in synthetic cannabinoid-based pharmaceutical preparations.
• Academic & Government Research: Fundamental reagent for studies on the effects, detection windows, and legal implications of cannabis use.
