The DualChip GMO Kit V2.0 is a multiplex screening tool for EU-authorized and non-authorized GMOs, successfully validated in collaboration with the Joint Research Centre (JRC) of the European Union*. The simultaneous detection of multiple GMO-specific elements, plant-species markers and control elements offers a time-sensitive, robust and comprehensive solution for GMO screening in food, feed and seed. Optimized components assure best results, and an incorporated software tool provides concise result reports with a few clicks.
The technology comprises a PCR-based amplification of target DNA with biotinylated primers and the subsequent microarray-based detection of amplicons with specific DNA capture-probes. Eppendorf’s proprietary Silverquant® staining is used for staining of the hybridized targets. The DualChip® GMO Kit V2.0 includes besides the microarrays all reagents necessary for amplification, labeling and hybridization as well as process controls.
