We completed sampling of 100 soil sampling points across Nova Scotia for the Soil Organic Matter and Soil Carbon Survey in Agro-Ecosystems of Atlantic Canada in cooperation with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada.
The goal of this project is to assess soil organic matter characteristics and soil functions and their relationship with land-use and management practices across the Atlantic region to develop a regional soil carbon map.

Our Microbial Contaminant Testing Panel includes enumeration analyses, such as Total Aerobic Microbial Counts, Total Yeast & Mould Counts, Bile-Tolerant Gram-Negative Counts, as well as microbial pathogen screening, such as presence of Salmonella species, and E. coli.
Bloom Labs also provides P. aeruginosa and S. aureus presence/absence panels. Microbial contamination testing may be conducted on matrices such as dried cannabis, cannabis extracts and, more recently validated, cannabis edibles! A full microbial sample size for testing is approximately 30 grams or milliliters.
