Abstract

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Reference Material (RM) 8210 Hemp Plant delivers non certified values for cannabinoids and toxic elements in a dried ground hemp plant material to help cannabis and forensic laboratories for use as a control and research material. A unit of RM 8210 contains three sample packets (approximately 1.5 g each), each sealed with a desiccant pouch in an aluminized polyester bag. This publication documents the production, analytical methods, and computations involved in characterizing this product.
