GMO Screening Analysis (p35S, tNOS and pFMV)

The DNA sequence to which RNA polymerase binds and transcription is initiated is called the promoter, and the DNA sequence that signals the termination of transcription is called the terminator. With the GMO screening analysis, promoters and terminators such as p35S, tNOS and pFMV are searched in the genetic structure. However, some genetically modified plant species do not contain promoters and terminators such as p35S, tNOS and pFMV. Gene screening is carried out in advanced laboratories, especially in genetically modified soybean, corn and cotton varieties.

GMO screening analyzes are about more than simply detecting genetically modified organisms. Increasing production numbers, global trade routes and changing approval systems in different countries require modern, specialized analysis strategies for the detection of genetically modified organisms in seeds, food and feed.

The ban on genetically modified plant feeds is valid for a certain period before slaughter. Before this period, animals can be fed with GMO feed. Below the 0.9 percent threshold, the unintentional and technically unavoidable mixing of approved genetically modified plants in feed products is permitted. Feed additives such as vitamins, amino acids or enzymes produced using GMO are also allowed.

In the test, analysis, measurement and evaluation studies carried out in our organization, national and international standards and applicable legal regulations are complied with and reliable and impartial results are obtained. These studies are based on the latest technological equipment, trained and experienced staff and modern methods. Among the numerous tests performed in this context, GMO screening analysis (p35S, tNOS and pFMV) services are also available.
