Josh Swider, CEO of Infinite Chemical Analysis Labs discusses the anticipated expansion of the hemp and cannabis industries and the new guidelines to regulate the same. He talks about a trend called "lab shopping" where cultivators are taking samples of their product to multiple labs with questionable practices to obtain the highest potency results and how this is creating an uneven playing field for labs that are operating in compliance Josh Swider, CEO of Infinite Chemical Analysis Labs. Josh began his career in chemistry at Eastern Washington University, where he earned his Bachelor of Science and Chemistry degrees in physics and biology in 2012. His quest for a deeper understanding of the science led him to be accepted into the joint doctoral program at the University of California, San Diego and San Diego State University, where he earned his master's degree in analytical chemistry in 2015 and his PhD in 2017. Throughout his college career, Josh became interested in the medicinal benefits of cannabis and the lack of analytical research and public understanding associated with it. He wanted to change this, and with his knowledge and passion for the industry, Josh founded the lab with fellow chemist Dave Marelius in 2016. Together they have made it InfiniteCAL's mission to ensure only safe, quality products are allowed to hit dispensary shelves. #Cannabis #Hemp

Man that's a mouthful. And is not something I had heard about until eguine ngai posted something about it on the hazmat group on facebook. The story that he told got me interested in the chemical. It's found in industrial settings. Specializing in the electronics world and many research applications. While doing more research on it I found it kinda interesting in regards to how lethal this seemed vs what its hazards were listed in the GHS. So i wanted to touch on that as wellTetramethylammonium hydroxide with a cas# of 75-59-2 is often found in two different types of solutions. It is found as water or aqueous solution as well in solutions of methanol. Do you find it odd at all that the cas number for these doesn't change. I mean methanol and water are so different yet the same cas#?Talk about thatThey are found in concentrations of about 2 to 25%Besides being in solution a salt form of TMAH exists and can be found in crystallized form. So you might see them like you would a saltSo we were curious just exactly what this stuff does. Like what would one use Tetramethylammonium hydroxide for anyway. And let me tell you the answer to that question left me with more questions than answers. It performs action that i have never even heard of on things i have neer even heard ofthis is from wikipedia One of the industrial uses of TMAH is for the anisotropic etching of silicon.[10] What is anisotropic?I am glad you asked because I didn't have a clue either. It basically makes the surface of a substance different depending on its orientation. When i looked this up because i still didn't understand what the hell that meant, it gave an example of wood. A log has different characteristics going with the grain then against the grain. It's easier to chop wood with the grain but hard to break it apart against the grain.It is used as a basic solvent in the development of acidic photoresist in the photolithography process, and is highly effective in stripping photoresist. TMAH has some phase transfer catalyst properties, and is used as a surfactant in the synthesis of ferrofluid, to inhibit nanoparticle aggregation.TMAH is the most common reagent currently used in thermochemolysis, an analytical technique involving both pyrolysis and chemical derivatization of the analyte.[11Let's take a look at some of the chemical and physical properties of this chemical.First off it is a very strong base.When we examine some of the accidents a bit we will see that skin damage and tissue damage was a huge issue.In a solid form it has a melting point of 153 degrees and will decompose before that liquid boils. It has an auto ignition temperature of 878 degree F. So it is clearly toxic long before it will be flammableIt has no available data on the vapor pressure. What are some of the hazards of this?Under the GHS its is acute toxicity oral and dermalSkin corrosive and eye damageWill have specific target organ toxicity in a single exposure to the central nervous system and with repeated exposure will target thymus gland and liverThe NFPA labels this a 3 in the health hazard. Lucky eugene ngai put together a few case study accidents on this chemical. And reading and hearing about them really gives you a pretty deep respect for the chemical. This comes from mEguines company “chemically speaking LLC” and you can find this and all sorts of other info on chemicals on his site.The first one speaks of a more recent event.

The High Ground features talks with the leaders of the Cannabis industry. Farmers, CEOs, public officials, anyone making an impact on the cannabis community and beyond.  Cannabis edible manufacturers are failing pesticide tests -- and it's not because of the cannabis  Earlier this month CBS reported that 80% of Vapes tested at a San Diego lab were determined to be “unfit” for consumption. Results showed that the majority of the black market vapes tested contained contaminants including on occasion vitamin E acetate, the chemical responsible for last year's vape crisis. There's clearly a need for testing, but that doesn't mean that every single rule and regulation works as it’s intended today. We're talking to the lab behind the results. Josh Swider is the CEO of Infinite Chemical Analysis Lab, which has locations in both San Diego, and Michigan.  Besides this study, Josh and his team were regularly called on for testing and analysis during last year's vape crisis.

This title was inspired by this article If you’re a fan of this podcast, I talk about taco bell a lot and I finally got a chance to talk to the registered dietician from Taco Bell. And I did not hold back. I talk about pretty much everything from the Naked Chicken Chalupa to the Power Bowl and praised every single item on Taco Bell’s menu. But of course, there’s some takeaways. One huge thing I want you to notice is how Missy carves her path. After working in 6 months in Taco Bell, she said “I want to own Nutrition in Taco Bell”. Not only that, but she continues to learn how to become a better and better employee by finding mentors in different departments. Other than that, we’ll talk about how being a dietitian in the fast food industry works, how to customize your taco bell order, and we share our experiences eating Guinea Pig in Peru About Missy Missy Schaaphok is the Senior Nutrition Strategist for Taco Bell Corp. spearheading the strategic global efforts for nutrition and product development. Within this role, she is responsible for sensible menu development, regulatory compliance, stakeholder engagement, animal welfare, and sustainability.

In the last decade, the scientific foundations of a number of traditional forensic methods have come under increasing criticism by the scientific community, leading to their discontinuation or reduced effectiveness in criminal prosecutions. These challenges raise questions about the admissibility of certain type of evidence in current cases and the validity of previous convictions. We will discuss the basis of these issues and describe some of the work ongoing at LLNL to try and address some of them. In particular we will describe an entirely new science-based approach to human identification. Series: "Lawrence Livermore National Lab Science on Saturday" [Science] [Show ID: 32071]

A few minutes after the Big Bang that created our Universe, nucleosynthesis reactions forged some lighter isotopes, including 7Li. Ever since then, such reactions have taken place in the hot stellar interiors, providing the stars with the energy to shine and forming all chemical elements necessary for life as we know it. In this thesis I describe how we have inferred the chemical composition of stars in a globular cluster, hosting one of the oldest stellar populations in our Galaxy, in order to address two fundamental astrophysical problems. The first problem is related to lithium, and the prediction of its primordial abundance from present cosmological theories of how the Universe was born. The Li abundances that we measure in the envelopes of globular cluster stars are lower than this estimate and we investigate the possibility that Li has been drained from the stellar surfaces. This thesis presents observational evidence that low-mass stars experience a small increase in their surface Li abundances during the course of their late phases of evolution, supporting this hypothesis. The second question is related to the formation and evolution of globular clusters. It appears that these dense stellar environments early underwent a unique form of self- enrichment, by retaining the gas outflow from slow stellar winds. The material was then incorporated into a second stellar generation with identical chemical signatures to the first, except for a handful of lighter elements, including sodium. I here discuss several aspects of this stellar pollution process. Only with a correct physical description of the radiative and convective energy transport through the stellar atmosphere, and the equilibrium state of the atoms, ions and molecules that form the tenuous gas, can we make solid predictions of the emergent spectrum and derive accurate abundances. In particular, I discuss how the simplifying assumption of local thermal equilibrium give rise to systematic errors in the analysis of Li and Na spectral lines, commonly mis-estimating the elemental abundances in stars by 10–50%, and in certain cases considerably more. Moreover, we have for the first time investigated the combined influence from departures from local thermal equilibrium and hydro-static equilibrium in the determination of the solar Na abundance.

Infinite Chemical Analysis Labs with Co-founder and CEO Josh Swider today on Hempire only on Cannabis Radio. While pursuing their PhDs in analytical and organic chemistry, Josh Swider and Dave Marelius became aware of the medicinal benefits cannabis offered patients that went beyond the realm of traditional medications. However, the cannabis community lacked analytical chemists dedicated to proving its potential. Knowing their experience could help set the standards within the industry, Josh and Dave founded Infinite Chemical Analysis Labs in 2016 with one goal in mind- providing the new, emerging cannabis and hemp industries and their consumers with high-quality, accurate testing services they could trust. Since then, the team of two has grown to over 30 talented scientists with bachelor's degrees or higher, ensuring their passion for science is reflected in their work. As regulations changed, our services have grown to cover all required testing set forth by the state of California, with validations in place for the most reliable analyses.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
