What is PD CEN/TS 17329-2- Qualitative real-time PCR methods about?
PD CEN/TS 17329-2 is part two of a multi-series that provides information on the performance characteristics of qualitative (binary) real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) methods for detection of specific DNA sequences present in foods should be evaluated and validated by conducting a collaborative study.
The guidelines described in PD CEN/TS 17329-2 are applicable for validation of qualitative PCR methods used for detection of DNA sequences derived from genetically modified foodstuffs. They can be applicable also for PCR methods used for detection of other target sequences in foodstuffs, e.g., for species detection and identification.
Who is PD CEN/TS 17329-2- Qualitative real-time PCR methods?
PD CEN/TS 17329-2 on foodstuffs applicable for the following:
- Chemical industries
- Food industries
- Laboratories
- Food quality and safety department
Why should you use PD CEN/TS 17329-2- Qualitative real-time PCR methods?
A real-time polymerase chain reaction is an experimental technique of molecular biology that utilizes the polymerase chain reaction.
PD CEN/TS 17329-2 provides a protocol for collaborative study of qualitative real-time PCR methods which are applied for food analysis.
PD CEN/TS 17329-2 is beneficial as it is used to confirm that the procedure for a specific test is suitable for its intended purpose. Test method validation gives an overall understanding of the uncertainty of the method.
You will find PD CEN/TS 17329-2 useful as it assures the scientific veracity of analytical results and is a key component of total quality management. Proper validation of a method provides documented evidence of method performance and prescribes ongoing measures to ensure quality monitoring.
