Trust the Cannabis Industry’s Preferred Microbial Testing Technology

The PathoSEEK® Microbial Safety Testing Platform is specifically designed for use on cannabis and hemp products, including flower, extracts, and a variety of infused products. The PathoSEEK platform uses qPCR technology, an established safety testing method in the food industry and medicine that has been used in several peer-reviewed studies.
The Top Cannabis Testing Labs Trust PathoSEEK
Independently and Internally Validated for Use on Cannabis
Medicinal Genomics puts all PathoSEEK assays through a rigorous manufacturer validation to show accuracy, precision, specificity, linearity, and limit of detection. Additionally, AOAC International has approved the following assays:
PathoSEEK® 5-Color Aspergillus Multiplex Assays with SenSATIVAx Extraction for cannabis flower, cannabis concentrates, and THC-infused chocolate.
PathoSEEK® Salmonella and STEC E. coli Multiplex Assay with SenSATIVAx Extraction for cannabis flower, cannabis concentrates, and THC-infused chocolate.
Internal Controls Included
Every PathoSEEK test reaction includes an internal cannabis control, which gives assurance that each reaction has proceeded correctly and results can be trusted. No other cannabis microbial testing platform includes internal cannabis controls.
Hear from Labs Using PathoSEEK
Medicinal Genomics offers a variety of testing kits that cover each state’s mandated microbial targets. Medicinal Genomics also offers multiplex kits, which allow labs to test for multiple targets in one reaction, saving on time and labor, while increasing instrument run sample capacity by 33%.
Individual Kits:
Total Yeast and Mold
Total Aerobic Count
Aspergillus niger
Aspergillus fumigatus
Aspergillus flavus
Aspergillus terreus
Bile-Tolerant Gram-Negative Bacteria
Coliform
Enterobacteriaceae
Listeria
Salmonella
E. coli
Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC)
Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Staphylococcus aureus
Medicinal Genomics has done extensive research into the microbiome of the cannabis plant and shared its findings through peer-reviewed papers, articles, and videos. The hope is that these materials will educate the cannabis community about the many advantages of qPCR as a microbial testing method.
