Event Overview:
In the world of cannabis microbiology, quality controls must be put into place to ensure the validity of the results at hand. Aside from environmental monitoring, certain levels of quality must be implemented to validate data that is being reported. In this webcast, we will discuss different types of quality that can be implemented to go beyond industry standard in compliance testing.
Key Learning Objectives
- Quality control in microbiology testing
- Media vs molecular based microbiology testing
- What are different levels of quality that should be used for each
Who Should Attend
- Compliance laboratories, scientists, cultivators, and production facilities
