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.
