Contaminant Screening
Contaminant screening refers to laboratory testing protocols designed to detect unwanted substances in cannabis plant material, including pesticides, heavy metals, microbial pathogens, and residual solvents. These analyses are fundamental to seed banking, breeding stock evaluation, and commercial production compliance. Screening data helps breeders identify clean genetics lines suitable for stable preservation and crossing programs. Regulatory frameworks in legalized markets typically mandate contaminant testing before sale, making screening results essential documentation for licensed cultivators. Understanding contaminant profiles across a strain's lineage informs decisions about parent selection and environmental controls during breeding work.

Breeders use contaminant screening results to verify the health and viability of parent plants before incorporating them into breeding programs. Clean baseline genetics reduce the risk of hereditary or environmental contamination in subsequent generations.
