foodproof® GMO Screening Kit by BIOTECON Diagnostics

Worldwide cultivation of genetically modified plants/organisms (GMOs) is approaching 10% of global agricultural area. Different transgenic crops are grown commercially on 160 million hectares in countries such as the USA, Brazil, Argentina, India and China. Many countries have implemented legislations for the use, cultivation and labelling of foodstuffs containing GMO. Thus, reliable methods for GMO screening in plant-containing products are required.

The unique 4-Target foodproof® GMO Screening Kit facilitates a fast, safe and easy detection of P-35S, T-NOS, bar and FMV in one single assay in food and feed samples. The included plant detection assay, which tests for green plant DNA, serves as a process control and helps to prevent false negative results.

The foodproof® GMO Screening Kit is based on the real-time PCR technology, which is well established in the food industry as a highly sensitive and specific detection method.
