// Definition
The use of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to verify the purity and identity of cannabinoids. Proton NMR spectra act as molecular fingerprints that can be compared against published literature to determine how clean or contaminated a cannabinoid sample is.
// From the Episode
Dr. Scialdone demonstrated proton spectrum analysis of purified delta-9 THC at 6.3 ppm. He emphasized that peer-reviewed literature provides a crystal ball for cannabinoid scientists by publishing reference spectra that can be used for comparison. NMR can detect impurities that HPLC might miss.
