GMO Testing

FoodChain ID Testing offers a broad portfolio of ISO 17025 accredited GMO screening methods which can be customized to meet the customer’s needs. Each GMO test employs duplicate DNA based extraction, duplicate PCR (polymerase chain reaction) and exacting control reactions. These are just some of the test methods that make FoodChain ID Testing’s GMO analysis one of the most robust available. Equally important are our solution-oriented FoodChain ID Testing account managers who work in partnership with you to help meet often-complex GMO related challenges. FoodChain ID Testing has the expertise and technological capabilities to build a custom test to suit your company’s specific GMO detection requirements.

Selection of the proper test involves many considerations, including your sample type, the likely sources of GMO, turn-around time needed, buyer requirements, export markets, and government regulations. The primer sets you choose will depend on your product, whether it is a broad-spectrum (cross species) or single species sample. We recommend that you consult one of our account managers before making your testing decision. Their expertise will help you achieve the most effective and economical testing solution for your specific requirements.

• Single-Species GMO detection provides the GMO status of a single species and is most suitable for food products such as grains, flours, soy isolates, etc., where there is a single source of GMO.
• Broad-Spectrum (cross species) GMO detection determines GMO content from one or more sources of GMO. It is useful for determining GMO content in multiple ingredient products, but it will not identify the genetically modified species or variety.
• Variety-Specific GMO detection identifies individual GMO varieties such as Roundup Ready® Soy

• GMO Qualitative Analysis reports on the absence or presence of GMO, but will not quantify how much GMO is present.
• GMO Real-Time Quantitative Analysis reports precise quantitative results of GMO content.
• FoodChain ID Testing’s Limit of Detection is 0.01% and Limit of Quantitation is 0.05%

• Standard : Results due 5 business days later
