Medical cannabis is becoming a key component of modern therapy in many countries of the world. Its application is growing in the fields of oncology, neurology, dermatology and palliative care.
Due to the sensitivity of the plant itself, as well as strict regulatory requirements, the cultivation of medical cannabis requires sterile conditions, especially in terms of air quality. This is exactly where POTOK technology provides a solution without compromise.

Challenges in growing medical cannabis

Medical cannabis is most often grown in closed and strictly controlled areas. However, even in such conditions, there is a serious risk of:
• microbiological contamination (molds, bacteria, yeasts),
• contamination from the ventilation system,
• variation in quality due to unstable microclimatic conditions,
• non-compliance with pharmaceutical and laboratory standards.

The presence of pathogens in the production cycle can lead to the loss of the entire batch and non-compliance with the law – which means a great financial risk and loss of reputation for manufacturers.

POTOK technology – a solution for sterile air without compromise

POTOK is a unique technology for active air decontamination, developed within the space program, and today adapted for the most demanding applications in industry and medicine.
In the cultivation of medical cannabis, POTOK devices enable:
• Continuous removal of microorganisms from the air (viruses, bacteria, mold) with an efficiency of 99.99%,
• A stable microbiological environment in the premises for cultivation, drying and packaging,
• Operation without filters, chemicals, ionization or UV radiation,
• Completely safe operation for plants, personnel and final product,
• Reduction of losses and increase of yield, with full compliance with regulations (GACP, GMP, GDP).

Examples of good practice in the world

Countries like Germany, Canada, Israel and Switzerland are leading the way in the production of medical cannabis.
In all these countries, the law prescribes:
• pharmaceutical level of air quality,
• documented contamination control,
• protection during all stages – from cultivation to packaging.

Many companies in those countries use air decontamination technologies just like POTOK, in order to meet strict standards and ensure the highest product quality.

Conclusion

Medical cannabis is a sector with high potential, but also extremely high demands.
By investing in sterile conditions and advanced technologies for air quality control, manufacturers not only protect the health of end users, but also ensure a stable and sustainable business model. POTOK technology is a proven solution that brings the highest standard to an industry that does not tolerate mistakes.
