Methods of detection for GMOs

More in this section

• Combining existing multiplex PCR with lab-on-chip capillary electrophoresis for detection of GMOs

  This research project will develop rapid and simple genetically modified organism (GMO) screening methods using multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) approaches and endpoint detection using lab-on-a-chip capillary electrophoresis.

• GMOseek: Development of screening methods for GMOs

  In this project nine novel assays/methods to aid the detection of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in food/feed have been developed. Once successfully validated, the methods will be made available, worldwide, to improve the ability of enforcement laboratories to detect the current and next generation of GMOs present in food/feed.

• Quantitation Using Informative Zeros (QUIZ): proof of concept

  This initial proof of concept study is designed to demonstrate the potential of Quantitation Using Informative Zeros (QUIZ) as a high-throughput methodology to measure Genetically Modified (GM) presence in food.

• Quantitation using informative zeros (QUIZ): part 2 - application for testing GMOs

  This project aimed to determine the potential of QUIZ for the quantification of genetically modified (GM) material in food by further development and testing of the methodology established in a previous proof of concept study (G03025).
