The Top Cannabis Testing Labs Trust PathoSEEK
Fully Validated on Cannabis
Medicinal Genomics validated its PathoSEEK tests on a variety of cannabis matrices (flower, extract, and infused products) and provides extensive validation data upon request.
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.
Decontamination Protocol
PathoSEEK kits include an optional decontamination protocol that prevents genetic material from a previous test from contaminating subsequent test runs. The DREAM™ PCR decontamination protocol simplifies lab operations by eliminating the need for isolated pre- and post-PCR cleanup areas to prevent cross-test contamination. Read More
