Robust Methods for GMO Detection Ready at Hand

November 12, 2010

The EU-JRC has recently published a list of 79 reference methods to analyze genetically modified organism (GMOs). The compendium was developed jointly by the EU Reference Laboratory for Genetically Modified Food and Feed (EU-RL GMFF) and the European Network of GMO Laboratories (ENGL).  The methods have been validated according to international standards and each method is described in a user-friendly way to cater to the needs and expertise of GMO regulators. 

The reference methods can be seen and downloaded at:  http://ec.europa.eu/dgs/jrc/index.cfm?id=2820&obj_id=563&dt_code=HLN&lang=en
