qPCR + confirmatory plating State certified
Microbials
We use qPCR with confirmatory plating to test for the organisms the state requires, and plating techniques to screen levels of total yeast and mold. Retesting is available for any product that fails.

These organisms grow under the same conditions the plant does and are a serious health risk to consumers, so the state requires testing for them: Aspergillus species, Salmonella species, Shiga-toxin producing Escherichia coli, and total yeast and mold.
We reach out to every client before reporting a failure. We will work with you to identify the source of contamination and develop corrective action plans to clean and decontaminate the affected area.
With environmental testing, colonies can be quantified and morphology assessed to point at the source. We work with master growers, budtenders and chefs to keep grows, kitchens and retail spaces contaminant free.
