Abstract: In an LC system using an ODS column (15) and UV detector (17), a cannabis-derived sample is analyzed by gradient elution using a phosphoric acid aqueous solution and phosphoric-acid-containing methanol. A control unit (3) regulates the openings of solenoid valves in a mixer (12) so that the increase rate of the mixture ratio of the phosphoric-acid-containing methanol in a second part of the analysis period is higher than in a first part.
