In early April, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a notice in the federal register asking for public comments on cannabis and its derivatives. These comments will help inform the response of the United States to the World Health Organization in potentially reclassifying cannabis.

We expanded our youPCR Plant Screening Platform to include two new youPCR detection assays for common cannabis plant pathogens: botrytis and russet mites. These early detection assays, along with our powdery mildew test , can help cannabis cultivators identify infected plants before they show visual signs. Cultivators can use these tests as a preventative measure to reduce the risk of a costly pathogen outbreak.
