Genetic Analysis employs molecular techniques to detect foreign DNA integrated into a plant's genome. This advanced method for detecting genetically modified organisms primarily utilizes Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), a cornerstone technology in genetic engineering, to identify and verify genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Focusing on the genetic level ensures the detection of genetically modified organisms, even in complex samples.
PCR is a refined technique that significantly increases the amount of a specific DNA segment in a sample, enabling easier detection and quantification. The procedure starts with extracting DNA, which is then subjected to thermal cycling. This involves alternating heating and cooling to extensively replicate the targeted DNA segment, enhancing its detectability, even in minute quantities. Primers—short DNA sequences tailored to bind specifically to the GMO sequence—are used to ensure that the replication is precise, resulting in highly dependable outcomes. Employing a pair of genetically engineered primers further sharpens this accuracy, making PCR analysis an essential tool in our GMO detection arsenal.
Our GMO Testing services utilize Genetic Analysis to provide accurate and reliable results, ensuring compliance with global regulatory standards and maintaining consumer trust in food safety. The effectiveness of our services is grounded in the PCR process, which includes both qualitative and quantitative methods. We continually enhance our testing capabilities through innovations in screening, detection, and specific GMO test methods, all tailored to support precise GMO labeling and rigorous safety testing.
Beyond the well-established PCR methods, various emerging and less commonly used for detection GMO testing techniques offer potential alternatives and complements to traditional approaches. These innovative methods expand the toolkit available to scientists and regulators, providing new avenues for ensuring the accuracy and integrity of food testing.
The Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) is a highly sensitive antibody-based technique to detect specific proteins associated with GMOs. This method employs antibodies immobilized on a solid surface to capture target GMO proteins from a sample. Subsequently, a secondary antibody linked to an enzyme binds to these proteins. Adding a substrate triggers a reaction that produces a measurable signal proportional to the quantity of GMO protein present. ELISA's sensitivity, with detection limits ranging from 0.01% to 1%, makes it ideal for analyzing raw agricultural commodities. However, its effectiveness is limited to samples with intact proteins and requires a controlled laboratory setting to yield accurate results.

Strip tests, or lateral flow devices, are rapid, user-friendly immunoassays designed for on-site GMO detection. These tests involve a strip that carries antibodies specific to GMO proteins. When a sample is applied, it flows through the strip, and if GMO proteins are present, they bind to the antibodies, forming a visible line that indicates a positive result. Strip tests are excellent for preliminary screenings at harvest or processing sites due to their simplicity and speed. However, they generally offer lower sensitivity (0.1% to 1% detection limit) compared to PCR and are unsuitable for processed products where proteins may be degraded.
These methods each play a vital role in the GMO testing toolkit, offering complementary strengths that cater to different testing needs and scenarios. This diverse array of options ensures comprehensive coverage across the spectrum of GMO testing requirements, including a special focus on food and feed events and events using specific approaches.
