Porcine and beef DNA in gelatine Parameters (qualitative): Identification of the animal species pork, Identification of the animal species beef 1 Article Number: 2010588 Description: Based on the former successful profiency test RVEP 150204 whereas porcine DNA (fragments) were specifically identified in gelatin for human consumption, the new profiency test will include the sensitive detection of pork (sus scrofa) and optionally also of bovine (bos taurus). The PT is designed to use DNA methods (preferentially qPCR), but other tests might be used as well. The profiency test will consist of a sensitive qualitative detection of traces of DNA (fragments). Even so the achieved ct values will indicate how strong the results and therefore sensitivity of different systems are. A real quantification will not be possible in this matrix. Category: immunological, molecular biological and microbiological testing food and feed food matrices (other) Accreditation: This proficiency test is not included in the scope of the accreditation. Is currently underway. Can still be booked. |

Porcine DNA in Candy Parameters (qualitative): Identification of the animal species pork Article Number: 2010313 Description: Increased interest in the detection of animal species in food has been observed, in particular in highly sensitive analytical methods, especially for the species pig. The real-time molecular biological method based on the amplification of DNA allows specific detection of DNA and DNA fragments of the respective species. The sensitivity depends on the PCR system used, the matrix and the degree of processing of the food. A relative quantification is possible by determining the Ct values, but the systems are calibrated for raw muscle meat. In this proficiency testing, gums are used as matrix for the qualitative detection of low amounts of porcine DNA. Category: immunological, molecular biological and microbiological testing food and feed food matrices (other) Accreditation: This proficiency test is not included in the scope of the accreditation. Is currently underway. Can still be booked. |
