CuraFlo™ is a cold plasma microbial remediation system for post-harvest flower and botanicals. For licensed Colorado cultivators, processors and labs, it knocks down total yeast and mold (TYMC) and bacteria without heat, chemicals, ozone residue or radiation, so at-risk and failed batches can be recovered, retested and sold instead of destroyed.
Microbial testing in Colorado’s adult-use and medical cannabis market
Colorado operators know testing well, and the market has seen years of price pressure. A repeatable, documented remediation step turns a failed result into a planned SOP instead of a write-off.
Colorado’s cannabis program is regulated by the Marijuana Enforcement Division (MED), which sets microbial testing limits and the process for remediating and retesting a failed batch. One failed microbial test can cost $50K to $500K in destroyed product, lost shelf space and re-testing.
Why Colorado batches fail yeast and mold testing
- Humidity spikes during late flower, drying and cure
- Dense canopies and limited airflow in grow and dry rooms
- Handling, trimming and packaging contamination
- Wet harvest weather for outdoor and greenhouse crops
- Long holds in quarantine while waiting on results
How CuraFlo™ helps Colorado operators
- >99.8% TYMC reduction validated across batches VAL-001 to VAL-003
- <0.2% THC variance: potency, terpenes, color and bag appeal stay intact
- No heat, no chemicals, no ozone residue, no ionizing radiation
- No radiation license, no shielding, no hazmat handling
- Documented, repeatable cycle data you can use in your remediation SOP
- About $60K with transparent pricing, plus lease and financing options
Best fit in Colorado: Lease or financing, plus per-batch economics
In a price-compressed market, capex is tight. Lease and financing options let you add remediation capacity without a large upfront hit, and every recovered pound goes back into sellable inventory.

Colorado cold plasma remediation FAQ
Is cold plasma remediation allowed in Colorado?
Remediation rules are set by the Marijuana Enforcement Division (MED). Most states require failed batches to be retested by a licensed lab after remediation, and many require notice or approval of the remediation method. We help operators put together cycle data and process documentation for that review. Confirm current requirements with your regulator before treating product for sale.
Does CuraFlo™ affect potency or terpenes?
Validation batches VAL-001 to VAL-003 showed less than 0.2% THC variance. The process runs without heat, so terpenes, color and bag appeal stay intact.
Do I need a radiation license or shielding?
No. CuraFlo™ is cold plasma, not X-ray or e-beam. No ionizing radiation, no shielding, no radiation license and no hazmat handling.
What does CuraFlo™ cost?
The CuraFlo™ system is about $60,000 with transparent pricing. Lease and financing options are available.
