Commitment to Quality

Genetic ID actively participates in various national and international ring trials and other performance assessment programs to validate the accuracy and reliability of its testing methods and systems in comparison with other laboratories around the world. The exceptional qualities of these PCR-based methods have likewise been verified in dozens of peer-reviewed articles in scientific journals.

Genetic ID’s Methods Maximize Accuracy and Reproducibility

Human beings make mistakes. Analytical instruments malfunction. Genetic ID has structured a system of controls, standards, and operational checks and balances to catch and correct analytical errors resulting from these sources. We have adopted a range of other measures to maximize sensitivity, reliability, accuracy, precision, and ensure that all commercialized GMOs will be detected. These methods:

Employ statistically valid sample sizes
Use the highly effective Fast ID^SM DNA extraction system
Are run in duplicate from beginning to end
Are optimized to detect as little as one molecule of genetically modified DNA
Use multiple primer sets to guard against false positives and false negatives and to detect all GMOs in the marketplace
Use the Varietal ID^SMsystem to identify specific transgenic crop varieties, even those not approved in Europe and Asia
Use real-time PCR to quantify GMO content over a wide concentration range
Employ both internal and external standards for accurate quantitative analysis

Genetic ID’s PCR tests operate to the lowest practical limits of detection (0.01%) and quantification (0.1%). Consequently you can be confident that product tested by Genetic ID will meet the specifications of your buyer.
