The Bloom Labs team is
committed to growing with the industry and the challenges that come with it.
Most recently, the analytical team has developed and validated methods for analyzing potency and microbial contaminants in cannabis infused gummies.
Our analytical
chemistry team worked diligently to profile ten different cannabinoids,
including THCA, CBDA, CBGA, Delta-9-THC, Delta-8-THC, THCV, CBD, CBG, CBN, and
CBC with a detection limit of 0.13 mg/g. Our microbiology team can now
confidently analyze gummies to enumerate aerobic microorganisms, bile-tolerant
Gram-negative bacteria, yeast & moulds, and detected pathogens such as E.
coli and Salmonella species. In addition, our team
validated methods to detect Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Staphylococcus
aureus, as they pertain to common food-borne and food-manufacturing
pathogens.
