This test can identify biological species through DNA testing on food, processed products and samples found in various environments.
- Principles of Test
There are conservation and mutation sites within the gene that represent interspecies differences. The genes that represent these interspecies characteristics are analyzed to distinguish the lineage and identify the species. Species specific DNA test identifies species through genetic analysis of cytochrome c oxidase I (COXI), cytochrome B (COB), and D-loop in mitochondrial DNA.
- Test specimen
Samples, biological foreign materials, etc. found in food, processed products, and various environments
| Test Item | Sample |
|---|---|
| Species specific DNA test on foreign materials in food | Simultaneous analysis of humans (hair, fingernail, blood, flesh, bone chips, etc.), animals, plants, insects, etc. |
| Species specific DNA test on animal-derived foreign materials | Analysis of 35 mammals, birds, fish, and other species |
| Species specific DNA test on plant-derived foreign materials | Analysis of 42 grains, nuts, fruits, vegetables, mushrooms and other species |
| Species specific DNA test on insects | Analysis of flies, mosquitoes, moths, etc. |
| Species specific DNA test of allergic food | DNA test of 12 allergic foods, such as milk, buckwheat, peanuts, soybean, wheat, mackerel, crab, shrimp, pork, peaches, tomatoes, eggs (chicken eggs, etc.) |
- Test Procedures
- Test Results
Each species specific genotype can be amplified in samples in food, processed products, and various environments to identify the species.
- Application of species specific DNA test
- When identification of plant species is required in samples of foreign materials in food
- When identification of animal, plant or allergic species is required in samples of food, processed products and various environments
