MICROBIAL SCREENING
MOISTURE CONTENT
Knowing the moisture content in cannabis products is an essential step to increasing shelf life and preventing mold and other negative health impacts for consumers. If moisture levels are too high, dangerous microbial contaminants can take form.
Testing Method:
Analytical Moisture Balance
Cannabis is vulnerable to fungi and bacterial diseases, and its growing conditions are often ideal environments for these sorts of toxins. Microbial testing is essential to ensure that patients and consumers are not being exposed to harmful contaminants such as:
Yeast and mold • Coliforms • Aspergillus • Aerobic bacteria • Bile Tolerant gram-negative bacteria • E. coli (pathogenic strains) and Salmonella spp • Aspergillus flavus • Aspergillus fumigatus • Aspergillus niger • Aspergillus terreus
Testing Method(s):
Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR)
Growth Plating
