    Abstract:
    The applicability of capillary electrochromatography (CEC) with photodiode array UV detection for the analysis of cannabinoids is presented. Baseline separation of seven cannabinoids (cannabigerol, cannabidiol, cannabinol, delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, delta-8-tetrahydrocannabinol, cannabichromene, delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinolic acid) is obtained using a 3-micron CEC Hypersil C18 capillary with an acetonitrile/phosphate (pH 2.57) mobile phase. The effects of acetonitrile concentration, buffer concentration, voltage, temperature, stationary phase, and column length on the separation of the cannabinoids were investigated. Good short- and long-term precision in retention times are observed, with significant improvement obtained using relative retention times with cannabinol as reference compound. Although short- and long-term peak area precisions are poor, satisfactory reproducibility is obtained using relative peak areas with cannabinol as reference compound. The applicability of the CEC methodology to drug seizures was demonstrated on marijuana and hashish. Using a high-sensitivity UV flow cell with an extended path length of 1.2 mm, concentration sensitivities approaching HPLC were obtained.
