Food safety

Today, the main goal of food industry enterprises is not only to produce good quality products, but also to guarantee their safety. To achieve this goal, all food products entering the EAEU market must comply with the requirements of technical regulations on food safety (TR CU 021/2011 “On Food Safety”), and manufacturers and testing laboratories are required to prove this.

Having several alternative research methods, especially when they are fast and accurate, available at every level of the production chain is the best possible option.

PCR analysis

The real-time PCR analysis makes it possible to quickly and sensitively solve the problems of determining the DNA of any organisms in food products.

The content of what indicators in food products can be determined by PCR analysis?

PCR analysis determines the following indicators:

  • Corn;
  • GMO soy;
  • Rape;
  • Rice.
  • Mutton;
  • Buffalo;
  • Beef;
  • Horsemeat;
  • Сoney;

Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA)

Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay is one of these methods. Its significant advantage is multipurposeness and flexibility, the same technology makes it possible to identify various indicators (from antibiotics to allergens) in products. At the same time, the ELISA equipment is multifunctional, the main equipment is a set of dispensers and a photometer for microplates.

How to implement ELISA in your laboratory?

Any laboratory, including production ones, can implement ELISA. Basic training of a laboratory assistant will be sufficient for the successful development of the ELISA method.

Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay will provide a key that solves a variety of problems in the field of industrial food production. In addition, the ELISA method is useful in animal husbandry as well, because it can be used to detect animal diseases, control vaccination, manage the herd reproductive performance. ELISA methods are available for a wide variety of laboratories, from production to inspecting ones, which also gives a good correlation between the results of production control and the results of official monitoring.
