CPC 250 PRO: Purification of Cannabidiol from Cannabis Sativa

Cannabidiol (CBD), a major component of the Cannabis sativa plant, is of medical interest because it is non-psychotropic and has suggested therapeutic medicinal properties. Standardized CBD products, free of tetrahydrocannabinol and other contaminants, must be developed to ensure consumer safety. This application note introduces a rapid and reproducible method for large-scale purification of CBD using a centrifugal partition chromatography method developed by Gilson.
