New Biochip as a Test for Non-Approved Genetically Modified Organisms in Food
Eppendorf Biochip Systems GmbH has developed an detection method for genetically modified organisms (GMOs) which detects GMOs currently approved by the EU and reliably tests for the presence of non-approved GMOs.
The technical principle is based on the detection of specific DNA elements used only in GMO plants. The Eppendorf method combines the information obtained from the test under software guidance to come to a conclusion on genetically engineered organisms. According to the company, the advantage compared to conventional tests is that it can detect numerous individual elements of one gene library simultaneously.
