Your hemp can be tested for total microbial counts of E. coli, Yeast and Mold, Aerobic Plate Count, Total Enterobacteria, and Salmonella in flowers and CBD products.

Microbial impurities are analyzed by plate count.

Escherichia coli, also known as E. coli, is a Gram-negative, facultative anaerobic, rod-shaped, coliform bacterium of the genus Escherichia that is commonly found in the lower intestine of warm-blooded organisms.

Yeasts are eukaryotic, single-celled microorganisms classified as members of the fungus kingdom. The first yeast originated hundreds of millions of years ago, and at least 1,500 species are currently recognized. They are estimated to constitute 1% of all described fungal species.

A mold or mould is a fungus that grows in the form of multicellular filaments called hyphae. In contrast, fungi that can adopt a single-celled growth habit are called yeasts.

The Total Aerobic Count (TAC) test is used as an indicator of bacterial contamination on a hemp sample.

Enterobacteriaceae is a large family of Gram-negative bacteria. It includes over 30 genera and more than 100 species

Salmonella is a genus of rod-shaped Gram-negative bacteria of the family Enterobacteriaceae. The two species of Salmonella are Salmonella enterica and Salmonella bongori. S. enterica is the type species and is further divided into six subspecies that include over 2,600 serotypes.
