Comprehensive analysis for microbiological contaminants
Microbial impurities are among the most notable threats to cannabis users. These contaminants include regular culprits such as E. coli, Salmonella, and Aspergillus. They’re all around us in trace amounts that do little harm, but in certain conditions, they quickly multiply into hazardous quantities.
Why is microbiological contaminant and pathogen testing important?
- The same conditions that are ideal for cultivation can also be ideal for the proliferation of microorganisms, bacteria, and pathogens.
- Microbiological contaminants can easily establish a foothold at any stage of the production process.
- Unaddressed contamination spreads quickly, leading to substantial loss of product and costly remediation
