Natural products—from botanical supplements to essential oils and plant-based extracts—are widely used in wellness, cosmetics, and alternative medicine. However, microbial contamination, particularly from Escherichia coli (E. coli), poses a serious health risk. At Medicinal Genomics, we provide fast, accurate, and validated E. coli testing for natural products to help manufacturers meet safety regulations and build consumer trust.
E. coli is a common indicator of fecal contamination and poor processing hygiene. Some strains, such as E. coli O157:H7, can cause severe illness even in low concentrations. Contamination can occur at any part of the supply chain making routine microbial testing essential for quality control.
Medicinal Genomics offers qPCR-based microbial detection using our PathoSEEK® Microbial Safety Testing Platform—validated for use on a wide range of natural product matrices.
We support E. coli testing across a wide spectrum of natural product categories:
Our assays are designed to accommodate both raw materials and finished goods.
Salmonella is considered an adulterant in many regulatory frameworks. Our testing helps you stay in compliance with:
We provide assay validation support, documentation, and guidance to help streamline regulatory audits.
With over a decade of experience in DNA-based microbial testing, Medicinal Genomics is trusted by labs, manufacturers, and regulators alike. We provide:
Whether you’re launching a new product or scaling production, our team ensures you’re testing smart, staying compliant, and keeping consumers safe.
Let us help you set up a microbial testing program that meets your needs. Whether you’re a contract manufacturer, herbal brand, or testing lab, Medicinal Genomics offers scalable, science-driven solutions.

The PathoSEEK® E. coli Detection Assay with MaGiC Lysis Kit protocol requires a minimum enrichment of 16 hours, which means you can get results in less than 24 hours.
Our validated extraction protocols work with challenging matrices like oils and tinctures.
Yes. The PathoSEEK® E. coli Detection Assay with MaGiC Lysis Kit protocol can be performed in-house with limited laboratory equipment and experience. When combined with the BMS Myra Liquid Handler and Mic qPCR Cycler, users can get fast, accurate results with minimal hands-on time.
Routine testing is strongly advised to meet cGMP and international quality standards, especially for raw materials.
