Overview:
Identify the species present in even the most challenging sample types with the Thermo Scientific™ Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) Food Authenticity Workflow incorporating SGS™ All Species ID Food DNA Analyser Kits.
Protect your business from food fraud by verifying the meat, plant, or fish species in food samples, enabling improved traceability and food safety.
As part of a complete and simplified NGS workflow, these kits provide a comprehensive list of species present across all types of food and feed products, including complex and highly processed matrices.
Species identification in food and feed samples is a critical requirement for authenticity verification, origin validation, raw material traceability, and quality control across food production processes.
The Thermo Scientific NGS Food Authenticity Workflow utilizes Ion Torrent sequencing technology to enable an untargeted screening approach, allowing identification of species in a sample through comparison with curated DNA reference databases of meat, plant, and fish species.
The ready-to-use SGS All Species ID Food DNA Analyser Kits enable DNA labeling and amplification via PCR, followed by next-generation sequencing and automated data analysis using SGS All Species ID Software. Results provide a clear and comprehensive list of detected species within each sample.
Each SGS All Species ID Food DNA Analyser Kit is available in two formats with 24 unique barcodes each, enabling simultaneous analysis of up to 48 samples in a single sequencing run.
Features:
• Simple: Ready-to-use kits include all necessary reagents for DNA labeling and amplification, supporting all sample types, including complex and processed matrices
• Rapid: Enables preparation of NGS libraries from extracted DNA within approximately 4 hours
• Flexible: Unique barcode-based labeling system allows simultaneous analysis of multiple samples for meat, fish, or plant species
• Supported: Backed by experienced technical support for workflow implementation and troubleshooting
