For the last century, traditional cultural methods have been the “gold standard” for microbiological analysis. For the cannabis industry, however, national harmonized culture methods do not exist, so laboratories have established molecular technologies as the foundation for testing for microbial contaminants. The question remains though, which type of method (cultural or molecular) is better for this industry? This presentation will discuss the evolution of microbiology analysis, the pros and cons of cultural and molecular applications, and how end users can ensure their methods are fit for purpose.
