Allergen and GMO Testing
In our laboratories, we utilize molecular biology techniques such as E.L.IS.A., PCR, and LC-MS/MS for determining GMOs, allergens, and identifying animal, plant, and bacterial species.

Allergens testing

Concerns about allergens listed as safety issues are gaining attention among policymakers. While not considered full “contaminants,” they can be potentially lethal. Consequently, proper labeling for allergens has become critically important. Tankoil’s food safety laboratories offer testing and labeling solutions throughout the supply chain.

Our allergen testing services employ traditional

Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)

advanced Digital PCR methods for DNA detection

immunoassays/antigenic methods like E.L.IS.A. for protein detection.

Mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS)

complements the analytical package, playing a crucial role in confirming E.L.IS.A. and PCR results, ensuring both sensitivity and specificity.

Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs)

GOMs are subject to strict government controls. Seed manufacturers and agri-traders must conduct tests to screen products, particularly in the European Union, known for its stringent regulations on importing, growing, and selling genetically modified crops.

Our GMO testing methods are based on Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) for screening modified DNA, providing a comprehensive approach to compliance and product safety.
