Horizontal methods for molecular biomarker analysis — Methods of analysis for the detection of genetically modified organisms and derived products — Part 2: Collection of specific examples of quantitative nucleic acid based methods

Apstrakt

This document specifies procedures for quantitative nucleic acid based methods for the detection of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and derived products by analysing the nucleic acids extracted from the sample under study.
The main focus is on polymerase chain reaction (PCR) based amplification methods.
The methods have been established for DNA analysis of food matrices, but could also be applied to other matrices (e.g. feed, seeds and plant samples from the environment).
