Transgenic Component Detection
In recent years, the global industrialization of agricultural GMOs has grown rapidly, and according to a report released by ISAAA, 26 countries and regions worldwide planted GM crops in 2018, with an area of over 190 million hectares. The area planted with GM crops has increased approximately 113 times since 1996, reaching a cumulative total of 2.5 billion hectares, making biotechnology the most rapidly applied crop technology worldwide. 70 countries and regions applied GM crops in 2018, of which 26 countries planted GM crops and another 44 countries imported GM crops. The number of GM crop species has also increased, and the number of GM crops approved for commercial cultivation worldwide has increased to 32 (ISAAA).
Our Solution
Lifeasible has advanced molecular biology testing equipment and a professional testing team. Using PCR technology, we can screen genetically modified components and strain identification tests for traces of genes in food, agricultural products, and feed samples.
Transgenic component detectionWe can qualitatively analyze genetic loci in soybeans, rice, corn, wheat, tomatoes, potatoes, rape, papaya, tobacco, flax, edible mushrooms, spices, edible oils, and fodder, etc. to identify whether raw materials and finished products contain transgenic ingredients.
- Transgenic content testing of edible oil and fat raw materials and finished products
- Transgenic content testing of soybean and its products
- Transgenic content testing of rice and its products
- Transgenic content testing of wheat and its products
- Transgenic content testing of rapeseed and its products
- Transgenic content testing of feed materials and feeds
- Transgenic content testing in common edible mushrooms
- Identification of Glyphosate-resistant transgenic soybean strains
- Identification of transgenic insect-resistant rice strains
- Identification of transgenic maize (herbicide-tolerant maize, insect-resistant maize, etc.) lines
- Identification of transgenic oilseed rape, cotton, and potato lines
Our Platform
PCR testingThis is a highly sensitive and technically mature method for the detection of transgenic components. It can be divided into screening method, target gene specificity, construct specificity, and event specificity according to the specificity.
- Relying on nucleic acid sequence amplification technology
- Qualitative PCR
- Quantitative PCR
- Nested PCR
- Digital PCR
- Multiplex PCR
This method is highly specific, less time-consuming, and less costly.
Near-infrared spectroscopy assayThis method does not cause any harm to humans or pollution to the surrounding environment, while this technique allows direct measurement without pretreatment for most samples, making it truly low-cost, rapid, real-time, and non-destructive.
Biosensor detectionThis technology has the advantages of high sensitivity, high specificity, real-time, and fast.
- Biochip detection
- Protein microarrays
- Gene chips
- Tissue microarrays
- Cell microarrays
- ELISA
- Western Blot
- Test strip method
