The use of cannabis is illicit in numerous countries, and the increasing consumption has led to a multiplication of scientific studies. New methods of planar chromatography such as automated multiple development (AMD) and optimum performance laminar chromatography (OPLC) techniques can be used as a substitute for the traditional thin-layer chromatography for the identification and quantitation of the Indian hemp components. Each method offers its own advantage: high resolution with neither diffusion nor spot stretching for AMD and speed, efficiency, and the possibility of working in the semipreparative mode for OPLC.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
