Gseneren Advanced Transfer Technologies MODIfinder DETECTION ASSAY GMO CORN User Guide ENER N Advanced Transfer Technologies 1 Introduction The introduction of GMO crops in the food chain led to the need to investigate their presence in a wide range of raw materials semi finished and finished products as well as in animal feed The European Commission first introduced thresholds for the accidental unavoidable presence of GM ingredients and according to EU Reg CE 1829 2003 all products food feed GMO derivatives cultures aromas and additives are labeled as to their GMO content Real Time PCR in time established as the gold standard method for GMOs detection and specific ISO norms namely 1SO21568 21569 21570 21571 regulate it s usage The base for GMO Corn methods is the detection of DNA sequences of genetic control elements such as promoters transcription terminators and markers such as resistance genes Assays performances The MODIfinder GMO CORN Detection Assay will detect the GMO only if all of the recommended components are stored properly and the recommended protocols are followed When used along with Generon ION Force DNA Extractor FAST Cat N EXD001 the assay shows a Limit of Detection of 0 01 Detection limit is strictly dependent from the matrix and the genome size of the taxa under investigation i e there is a theoretical LOD you cannot go below Assays available Part number PGCO1A MODIifinder C
