GMO Testing Services

AsureQuality's GMO laboratory has been audited by NATA and in 2003 achieved accreditation to ISO 17025 for the detection of genetically modified organisms.

Because we can offer the best GMO testing technology for the Australasian food and agricultural industries,  we can respond to customer demands with internationally recognised GMO testing methods and provide results to the lowest possible limits of detection.

Scope

The most effective way to determine the presence of GMO's in seeds, food and feedstuff is to detect the presence of modified DNA. AsureQuality's GMO Services can test for all commercialised GMO plants in the world and standard screening tests can detected over 90% of GMO plant varieties in the marketplace.

Technique

Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) technology - detects the presence of genetically modified material at very low levels. Provides qualitative and quantitative GMO testing in raw materials and/or processed foodstuffs.

Partnership with GeneScan Europe AG

We have a close partnership with GeneScan Europe AG who pioneered GMO testing and have provided analytical services to the international food and agricultural industry for over a decade. This means we have access to a European bioinformatics team that scans the world for new GMO's and their possible entry into the market place.
