Cannabis Microbial Testing – Aspergillus, Salmonella-STEC, TYM PCR detection

GT Molecular Cannabis Real-time PCR assays

Cannabis Kits Microbial Targets

Aspergillus spp.
Multiplex detection of four pathogenic Aspergillus species in a single assay. Identify Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus fumigatus, Aspergillus terreus, and Aspergillus niger in a single reaction
Patents Pending

Salmonella and STEC
Combined detection of Salmonella and Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) simultaneously in one well, validated for flower, concentrates, and edibles.

Total Yeast and Mold (TYM)

Built for cannabis testing laboratories, this assay delivers quantitative CFU/g results, viability-focused detection, and same-day microbial testing in under 8 hours.
Patents Pending

Faster testing, higher throughput, and confident results with GT Molecular Real-Time PCR Kits designed for Cannabis.

Validated on multiple instruments

Run assays on leading Real-Time PCR platforms, including Bio-Rad CFX96, Agilent AriaMx, and Thermo Fisher QuantStudio 5 systems, with no proprietary reader required.

Highly multiplexed for efficient testing

Analyze all targets in a single well and assess more samples per plate. Kits include all of the primers, probes, and positive and negative controls required for your assay.

Designed according to AOAC requirements

AOAC PTM validation in progress for Sal-STEC and submission pending for Aspergillus and TYM. Support regulated cannabis testing with assays designed to align with AOAC requirements and validation best practices.

Applicable with multiple matrix types

Apply consistent workflows across cannabis matrices, including flower, concentrates, and edibles, with matrix-specific validation. TYM is only validated for dried cannabis flower.
