Meat Species Identification Kits

Arguably most important difficulties that the meat and dairy industry is experiencing today, are detecting adulteration in food products and ingredient origin determination due to the strict regulatory environment. Intentional or unintentional, meat adulteration and origin falsification damage public and animal health, brand value, consumer trust and raise ethical and religious concerns. Although differentiating close relative species from a complex sample is challenging in most other methods, Real-Time PCR method; with its sensitivity, specificity and fast application, is considered as the golden standard for meeting these challenges.

Our Bosphore Meat Species Identification panel offers sensitive, accurate and reliable results in an easy to use, customizable and time-efficient workflow.

Meat Species Identification Kits

Bosphore Vegan Detection Kit v1 is a Real-Time PCR kit that detects animal mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) belonging to classes such as mammals, birds, fish, insects, spiders, and molluscs from samples such as meat and meat products, milk and dairy products, food with or without animal products, food additives, feed, and feed additives. Fluorescence detection is performed using FAM and HEX filters.

The kit includes an internal control to check PCR inhibition and application errors. The internal control is added to the PCR reaction mixture. Fluorescence detection for the internal control is performed using a HEX filter.

Since the kit also detects human samples, it is important that the user wears gloves and a mask during application to prevent false positive results.
