ANALYSIS

2. GMO Testing in Raw Materials
What is a Genetically Modified Organism?
A GMO is any organism whose genome has
been altered by the techniques of genetic
engineering so that its DNA contains one or
more genes not normally found there.
Why is GMO testing important?
GMO labeling requirements are now necessary
for food products and ingredients in 64
countries. Some States in the US are voting on
GMO labeling requirements. Testing will
validate the integrity of your product and ensure
compliance with the GMO labeling guidelines.
Where is GMO labeling required?
GMO labeling is now required in 64 countries
including the European Union, China, Australia,
Japan and parts of South America.
How is GMO detected?
Lateral Flow- Uses a simple and relatively
inaccurate method of protein detection
Real Time PCR- The most common method,
offering good accuracy but less precision
ddPCR- Droplet Digital PCR, innovative and
sensitive
Ally with our team
We will be glad to assist our clients with national
and international GMO regulations and labeling
concerns by providing analysis you can trust.
Midwest Laboratories
now offers GMO
testing using ddPCR.
Droplet Digital PCR (ddPCR) is a method for
performing digital PCR that is based on water-
oil emulsion droplet technology. A sample is
fractionated into 20,000 droplets, and PCR
amplification of the template molecules occurs
in each individual droplet. Advantages of this
technology include:
Absolute quantification
Unparalleled sensitivity
Low detection level
Reduced consumer cost
Event specific quantification
