PCR method for detecting genetically modified salmon in food
CEN ISO/TS 21569-10:2026 sets out real-time PCR protocols for detecting genetically modified Atlantic salmon, together with interlaboratory validation data.
- The specification describes event-specific and construct-specific methods detecting DNA sequences of salmon carrying the CS-GHc2 growth hormone gene.
- The document includes interlaboratory reproducibility data plus rules for sample handling and result reporting.
- For a food laboratory with a molecular biology unit this is a ready item for the scope of accreditation, based on validated protocols.
- Detecting modifications in animals is rarer than in plants — this specification extends the catalogue of GMO methods to animal material.
