ASTM D8469 Standard Test Method for Analysis of Multiple Elements in Cannabis Matrices by Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) -- eLearning Course
About the Course
This course is based on ASTM D8469–22 Standard Test Method for Analysis of Multiple Elements in Cannabis Matrices by Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS). This test method covers uses inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) to determine multiple trace elements in cannabis and cannabis-related matrices following sample preparation using microwave-assisted acid digestion.
The course takes approximately 1 hour to complete and includes instructional video content, interactive knowledge checks, and a self-grading quiz. Downloadable resources include a pdf of the standard.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of this course, you will be able to:
- Identify apparatus, reagents and materials, and any associated hazards as outlined in ASTM D8469, including requirements for the ICP-MS and when solutions are to be prepared.
- Recognize sample categories and aims for collection and homogenization.
- Describe requirements for preparation of apparatus, calibration, and standardization including operation parameters for the CRC and frequency of calibration with the check standard.
- Recall procedure for analysis of multiple elements in cannabis matrices by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS).
- Identify process for calculation of the concentration (mass fraction) of the analyte in the measured samples and reported concentration for Pb.
- Define reporting requirements for ASTM D8469.
