Exemplary Performance in Ring Trials

Genetic ID NA participates in proficiency test programs (i.e. ring trials) offered by the organizations listed below. Genetic ID NA consistently scores in the top tier of all participating laboratories. As one of the common indicators used to gauge the performance of a testing laboratory, the z-score reflects in statistical units the difference between the participating laboratory's result and the accepted consensus value. Therefore, a score of zero implies a perfect result.

By looking at the z-scores in the attached examples of representative results from these ring trials, one can see that Genetic ID NA achieved lower z-scores than the majority of the other participating laboratories. In addition, these examples demonstrate that Genetic ID NA is able to obtain these results with a variety of sample matrices and GM events.

The Genetically Modified Material Analysis (GeMMA) Scheme (Central Science Laboratory [CSL], UK
The Lab Proficiency Program by the American Oil Chemists' Society (AOCS), USA
The USDA/GIPSA Proficiency Program (United States Department of Agriculture, USA)
The GMO Proficiency Test Program (International Seed Testing Association [ISTA], Switzerland)
Other proficiency test programs organized by Unilever (GM corn and soy) and Coresta (GM tobacco)
