Download or read book Training Manual on GMO Quantification written by and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The content of this manual is based on the training course that was organised on the premises of the European Commission, Joint Research Centre, Institute for Reference Materials and Measurements (Geel, BE) at the end of 2013. The training manual complements the training course that was intended to improve the quality of measurement results obtained when quantifying genetically modified organisms (GMO) in food and feed. Both, the training course and this manual, were developed in line with the current EU GMO legislation. The manual is addressed to laboratory managers and practitioners in analytical laboratories who perform GM quantification measurements and use reference materials for calibration, quality control and method validation including in-house verification. It is also intended for analysts who need to assess measurement uncertainties as required by (EC) No 1829/2003 [1], (EC) No 619/2011 [2] and ISO/IEC 17025:2005. This training document has been written by JRC-IRMM upon request of the European Union Reference Laboratory for Genetically Modified Food and Feed (EURL-GMFF) to further improve the reporting of National Reference Laboratories (NRLs) nominated under Regulation (EC) No 882/2004 and official GMO control laboratories within the EU. This manual is organised in four chapters covering the proper calibration of PCR methods, the estimation of measurement uncertainty, the establishment of metrological traceability of a measurement result and the way to prove the trueness of measurement results. The training manual is a didactic support of a previous guidance document that outlines issues related to the estimation of measurement uncertainty (MU) in the GMO sector . The training manual is also in line with the European technical guidance document for the flexible scope accreditation of laboratories quantifying GMOs, that is intended for laboratories that are acquiring or are holding a flexible scope of accreditation according to ISO/IEC 17025.

Download or read book How to Reliably Test for GMOs written by Jana Žel and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-10-26 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The detection of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) is becoming very complex, with new GMOs, approved and unapproved, constantly entering world markets. Traceability and labelling of GMOs is defined in regulations worldwide, demanding accurate and reliable testing to support the requirements of legislation. This Brief provides the current state-of-the-art on all key topics involved in GMO testing and is a source of detailed practical information for laboratories. Special focus is given to qualitative and quantitative real-time PCR analysis relevant to all areas where detection and identification rely on nucleic acid-based methods. The following topics, important for testing laboratories, are also discussed: organization of the laboratory, focusing on aspects of the quality system and methods for testing, validation and verification of methods, and measurement uncertainty. The Brief also discusses the new challenges of GMOs and novel modified organisms, using new technologies, and the possible solutions for GMO detection, including bioinformatics tools. Finally, legislation on GMOs and sources of information on GMOs are provided, which are relevant not only to testing laboratories, but to anyone interested in GMOs. The authors of this Brief have many years of experience in GMO testing, development of real-time PCR methods, implementation of quality system requirements, validations and verification of methods, and measurement uncertainty. The National Institute of Biology is a highly qualified research laboratory and a National Reference Laboratory, which also performs routine analyses of food, feed and seed. The Institute for Health and Consumer Protection of the European Union Joint Research Centre has extensive knowledge and experience of GMO detection. It hosts the European Union Reference Laboratory for GM Food and Feed in addition to chairing the European Network of GMO Laboratories.
Download or read book Testing and Analysis of GMO containing Foods and Feed written by Salah E. O. Mahgoub and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2019-01-15 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An increasing number of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) continues to be produced every day. In response to the concerns raised by the development of GMOs and their incorporation in foods and feed, guidelines and regulations to govern and control the use of GMOs and their products have been enacted. These regulations necessitated the design of methods to detect and analyse the presence of GMOs or their products in agriculture produce, food and feed production chains. Design of techniques and instruments that would detect, identify, and quantify GM ingredients in food and feed will help inspection authorities to relay reliable information to consumers who might be concerned about the presence of GM ingredients. Information generated by detection of GMOs in food and feed would be helpful for setting regulations that govern the use of GM components as well as for labeling purposes. Qualitative detection methods of GM-DNA sequences in foods and feeds have evolved fast during the past few years. There is continuous need for the development of more advanced multi-detection systems and for periodic updates of the databases related to these systems. Testing and Analysis of GMO-containing Foods and Feed presents updates and comprehensive views on the various methods and techniques in use today for the detection, identification and quantification of GMOs in foods and feed. The eleven book chapters cover recent developments on sample preparation techniques, immunoassays methods and the PCR technique used in GMO analysis, the use of biosensors in relation to GMO analysis, the application of nucleic acid microarrays for the detection of GMOs, validation and standardization methods for GMO testing, in addition to the type of reference material and reference methods used in GMO testing and analysis. Some of the ISO standards designed for identifying and detecting the presence of GM material in foods are also presented in the book.

Download or read book DNA Techniques to Verify Food Authenticity written by Malcolm Burns and published by Royal Society of Chemistry. This book was released on 2019-10-16 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The food supply chain needs to reassure consumers and businesses about the safety and standards of food. Global estimates of the cost of food fraud to economies run into billions of dollars hence a huge surge in interest in food authenticity and means of detecting and preventing food fraud and food crime. Approaches targeting DNA markers have assumed a pre-eminence. This book is the most comprehensive and timely collection of material from those working at the forefront of DNA techniques applied to food authenticity. Addressing the new field of analytical molecular biology as it combines the quality assurance rigour of analytical chemistry with DNA techniques, it introduces the science behind DNA as a target analyte, its extraction, amplification, detection and quantitation as applied to the detection of food fraud and food crime. Making the link with traditional forensic DNA profiling and describing emerging and cutting-edge techniques such as next generation sequencing, this book presents real-world case studies from a wide perspective including from analytical service providers, industry, enforcement agencies and academics. It will appeal to food testing laboratories worldwide, who are just starting to use these techniques and students of molecular biology, food science and food integrity. Food policy professionals and regulatory organisations who will be using these techniques to back up legislation and regulation will find the text invaluable. Those in the food industry in regulatory and technical roles will want to have this book on their desks.
