Cannabis no longer a narcotic soon - Microbiological quality of herbal medicinal products

In recent years, interest in cannabis products in medicine has increased significantly, and the market share in Europe has risen. Now, the legalization of cannabis is being pursued in government circles.

Like other medicines, cannabis-containing products must be microbiologically tested according to the European Pharmacopoeia (current version, chapter 5.1.8).

We are happy to advise you on all questions regarding the microbiology of herbal medicines and conduct the tests in our laboratory for you.

We also carry out the analysis of cannabinoids, including the THC content, in our Tentamus laboratories.
