APINACA, also known as AKB-48, is an aminoalkylindazole synthetic cannabinoid with a high affinity for the CB₁ receptor. APINACA has been found in novel psychoactive 'smoking blends' sold through the internet. This certified solution standard is suitable for use as starting material in calibrators and controls for GC/MS or LC/MS synthetic cannabinoid testing methods in forensic analysis, clinical toxicology, or urine drug testing applications.

For those synthetic cannabinoids currently controlled at the federal level, our certified solution standards of these substances are DEA-exempt, allowing laboratories to place orders without additional regulatory paperwork. For US customers, state specific regulatory requirements may apply.
