Screen Test

A screening of plant extrinsic gene sequences that were infiltrated into the plants during GMO development provides efficient evidence of the presence of any possible GMOs.

Combination possibilities as screening kits:

S2126 4plex (35S/NOS/FMV +IAC)
This multiplex kit enables the screening of the most important parameters within a reaction, but requires multiplex-capable devices that can separately detect FAM/VIC/ROX/Cy5 (Agilent MX3005P, ABI 7500, Biorad CFX96, RotorgeneQ, Roche Lightcycler 480).

S2026 (35S+NOS+FMV)
This kit enables screening of the same parameters only in the FAM channel. Here though, four separated reaction procedures and tubes have to be used for the three parameters and for an external inhibition control.

These and further parameters can either be combined in a modular way or used individually. The efficiency of the DNA preparation can be verified with a plant-specific PLANT Plus Kit (s2049). The PLANT Kit (S2056) is sufficient for the 4plex Kit with internal amplification control.

SureFood® GMO P35S:BAR Rice Screening

Intended use:

Real-time PCR for qualitative detection of P35S:BAR rice DNA in food, feed and environmental samples. Test kits for DNA preparation are separately available (SureFood® PREP Plant and PREP Plant X).

PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) amplifies the DNA target sequence, which is subsequently detected via fluorescence labelled hybridization probes in real time.
All SureFood® GMO real time PCR kits use FAM/TAMRA labelled TaqMan probes.

General Information:

The world wide production of genetically modified crops (e.g. soya and corn) has steadily increased since the beginning of the 90’s. Since the 1st of September 1998 all food products which are containing genetically modified organisms (GMO) must be labeled. As stated by the Council of Ministers of the European Union (EU), regulation for the labeling of Novel Food: Decision Nr. 1139/98/EC. Furthermore since April 2004 the EU directive 1829/2003 came into force and determines the labeling threshold value at 0,9 % GMO for food and feed. In accordance with § 64 of the LfGB (Lebensmittel- und Futtermittelgesetzbuch), the German equivalent of the FDA, R-Biopharm in cooperation with our partner CONGEN offers the solution in accordance with the German official register of investigative protocols presented in the LFGB for a quick and efficient DNA detection of GMOs in various materials. All the way through, from the individual ingredients to the end product.
