title: High pressure liquid chromatography of cannabinoids as their fluorescent dansyl derivatives.
abstract: Four different cannabinoids were converted to their 1-dimethyl-aminonaphthalene-5-sulfonate (dansyl) derivatives. Standards mixtures were separated by high pressure liquid chromatography and detected with an experimental filter fluorometer with sub-nanogram sensitivity. The effect of solvent properties on fluorescence spectra and quantum yields was also studied.
