Cannabis Pathogen Testing & Facility Contamination Assessments

Identify the Source. Understand the Risk. Prevent Recurring Contamination.

Cannabis Contamination Solutions specializes in pathogen and fungal testing, plant health investigations, and comprehensive facility contamination assessments for cannabis cultivation and production operations.

Our services help cultivators identify harmful plant pathogens, investigate fungal contamination, and uncover environmental conditions that may contribute to recurring contamination and failed testing.

Through targeted laboratory analysis, facility evaluations, and root cause investigations, we help operators identify potential contamination sources, improve cultivation practices, and develop effective prevention strategies.

From identifying pathogens in your plants to uncovering hidden contamination risks in your facility, we help you protect your crops, improve product quality, and reduce costly testing failures.

CCS Facility Vulnerability Score™

Starting at $2,500

Comprehensive Facility Risk Assessment

Identify Hidden Risks Before They Become Failed Batches

Contamination problems often begin long before they appear on a failed COA. Airflow deficiencies, excess moisture, sanitation gaps, facility conditions, employee practices, equipment, and workflow can create hidden contamination pathways throughout a cultivation facility.

The CCS Facility Vulnerability Assessment is a comprehensive on-site evaluation designed to identify these vulnerabilities, determine where contamination risk may be developing, and give operators a clear, prioritized plan for reducing that risk.

What's Included

  • Comprehensive facility and cultivation-room walkthrough

  • Building envelope and moisture-risk assessment

  • HVAC, airflow and air-quality review

  • Temperature, humidity and environmental-control assessment

  • Water, drainage and condensation review

  • Sanitation-practice assessment

  • Employee hygiene and PPE review

  • Workflow and cross-contamination assessment

  • Equipment maintenance review

  • Pest-prevention assessment

  • SOP, documentation and quality-control review

  • Contamination pathway analysis

  • CCS Facility Vulnerability Score™ — 0–100

  • Prioritized corrective-action recommendations

  • Recommended testing and monitoring strategy

Your CCS Facility Vulnerability Score™

Your facility is evaluated across 11 weighted vulnerability categories to produce an overall 0–100 CCS Facility Vulnerability Score™.

Instead of receiving a generic checklist, operators receive a structured assessment showing where vulnerabilities exist, which areas present the greatest concern, and where corrective efforts should be prioritized.

Your Deliverable

Following the assessment, you receive a comprehensive CCS Facility Vulnerability Assessment Report including:

  • Overall CCS Facility Vulnerability Score™

  • Individual category scores

  • Key findings and identified vulnerabilities

  • Supporting field observations and photographs where applicable

  • Potential contamination pathways

  • Prioritized corrective actions

  • Recommended environmental testing

  • Recommended follow-up and retesting

  • Ongoing monitoring recommendations

Starting at $2,500

Final pricing is based on facility size, number of cultivation and production areas, operational complexity, travel, and assessment scope.

Environmental fungal air sampling, airflow mapping, laboratory fungal identification, corrective-action retesting, and ongoing environmental monitoring are available as additional services when warranted.

Find the vulnerabilities now—before they become failed batches, lost product, or recurring contamination problems.

Plant Health Investigation

Identify the Cause. Choose the Right Test.

Plant symptoms can be misleading. Yellowing, wilting, leaf deformation, stunted growth, and declining performance may result from pathogens, environmental conditions, irrigation practices, nutrient programs, or facility-related issues.

Our investigation process helps identify potential causes and determine the most appropriate testing strategy, reducing unnecessary testing costs and helping cultivators take informed corrective action.

What's Included:

  • Plant Symptom Review

  • Irrigation & Water Review

  • Environmental Controls Review

  • Existing Laboratory Data Review

  • Testing Strategy Recommendations

  • 14-Pathogen Panel Testing for One Plant

  • Written Assessment of Findings and Probable Causes

  • Recommended Next Steps & Corrective Action Plan

Starting at $399 First Room

Additional Rooms: $295 per room for 14-pathogen panel testing.

Minnesota Cannabis Representative Sampling Plan Development

A laboratory result is only as reliable as the sample submitted for testing.

Minnesota cannabis regulations place significant responsibility on license holders to ensure compliance samples accurately represent the batch being tested.

Representative sampling isn't simply grabbing product and sending it to the lab.

Minnesota sampling requirements address:

Random Sampling • Product Variability • Sample Integrity • Aseptic Collection • Contamination Prevention • Documentation • Employee Training • Supervisor Verification

CCS BUILDS THE SYSTEM FOR YOU

Cannabis Contamination Solutions develops customized, facility-specific sampling programs designed to turn Minnesota's regulatory requirements into procedures your team can consistently execute.

YOUR PROGRAM CAN INCLUDE

  • Customized Representative Sampling Plan

  • Sampling SOP Development

  • Random Sampling Methodology

  • Product & Batch-Specific Collection Procedures

  • Sample Integrity & Contamination Controls

  • Chain-of-Custody & Collection Documentation

  • Sampler Field Checklists

  • Employee Sampling Training

  • Sampler Competency Documentation

  • Supervisor Verification Procedures

  • Mock Sampling Audit & Gap Assessment

  • Implementation Support

WHY IT MATTERS

The laboratory only analyzes the material it receives.

An unrepresentative sample can contribute to inconsistent potency results, unexpected compliance failures, cross-contamination, inaccurate characterization of the batch, retesting, remediation, regulatory findings, and unnecessary product loss.

Your sampling program should be able to answer one critical question:

Can you demonstrate that the sample submitted to the laboratory accurately represents the batch?

If the answer isn't clear, CCS can help.

BUILT BY CANNABIS SAMPLING EXPERIENCE — NOT A GENERIC SOP TEMPLATE

CCS brings extensive hands-on experience developing and implementing cannabis sampling plans and translating regulatory requirements into practical field procedures.

Every program is customized to the operator's facility, products, batch structure, workflow, personnel, and testing requirements.
