Two dimensional thin-layer chromatography of ganja (Cannabis sativa L.).

An efficient and reliable two-dimensional thin-layer chromatographic technique for separation and identification of cannabinoids present in cannabis resin (Cannabis sativa L.) is described. A total of 47 different cannabinoids were successfully separated and 5 of these, cannabinol, cannabidiol, cannabichromene, trans-delta-8-tetrahydrocannabinol and delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, were identified. A 0.1 per cent solution of Fast blue salt B in 45 per cent ethanol was employed as chromogenic reagent.

Spot tests for cannabis materials.

Sensitive and specific spot tests are described for the identification of cannabis materials. These spot tests are economical since they utilize minimal amounts of cannabis derivatives and chromogenic reagents. They yield satisfactory results when applied to the cannabis materials and are sensitive at less than 10 micrograms/ml. The described spot reactions are simple, highly reliable and reproducible.
