- Test for absence or presence of recombinant DNA in products derived from genetically modified microorganisms (GMMs) is relevant in the context of scientific risk assessment and approval
- Information on DNA levels present in products obtained using different purification approaches might help optimize the production process
- Analysis of samples for specific target sequences can guarantee identity and quality of products and/or raw materials used

|
- Broad experience in extraction of trace amounts of DNA
- Matrix specific optimization of DNA extraction method if necessary
- Determination of extraction efficiency if required
- Analysis using general preexisting PCR systems targeting e. g. antibiotic resistance genes or development of highly specific PCR systems detecting targets specified by the customer
- Determination of sensitivity, reliability and specificity of the PCR detection method
- Qualitative or (semi-)quantitative analysis using Real-time PCR
- Extensive analytical controls
- Typical sample types include enzymes for food and feed processing or washing agents, vitamin preparations, amino acids (lysine, threonine), pharmaceutical raw materials
