CuraFlo™ is a cold plasma microbial remediation system for post-harvest flower and botanicals. For licensed producers, processors, importers and labs in New Zealand, it knocks down total yeast and mold (TYMC) and bacteria without heat, chemicals, ozone residue or ionizing radiation, so at-risk and out-of-spec lots can be recovered, retested and released instead of destroyed.
Microbial quality in New Zealand’s cannabis market
New Zealand’s Medicinal Cannabis Scheme sets minimum quality standards that domestic producers must meet. With a small number of licensed cultivators and a humid climate, each batch counts.
Cannabis in New Zealand is regulated by the Medicinal Cannabis Agency (Ministry of Health), which sets or enforces microbial specifications and the rules for treating and releasing product. One failed microbial result can cost $50K to $500K in destroyed product, lost contracts and re-testing.
Why lots fail yeast and mold specs in New Zealand
- Humidity spikes during late flower, drying and cure
- Dense canopies and limited airflow in grow and dry rooms
- Handling, trimming and packaging contamination
- Long transit and storage times for export and import lots
- Tight pharmaceutical release specs with no room for error

New Zealand cold plasma remediation FAQ
Is cold plasma remediation allowed in New Zealand?
Cannabis quality rules in New Zealand are set by the Medicinal Cannabis Agency (Ministry of Health). Any decontamination or remediation step generally has to be validated in your quality system, accepted by your regulator or in your product approval, and followed by release testing. We provide cycle data and process documentation to support 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.
Is CuraFlo™ an irradiation process?
No. CuraFlo™ is cold plasma, not gamma, X-ray or e-beam. No ionizing radiation, no radioactive sources, no shielding and no hazmat handling.
Can you ship CuraFlo™ to New Zealand?
Yes, we quote international orders per country. The system lists at about $60,000 USD; international quotes cover shipping, power requirements and import documentation. Lease and financing options are available.
