Generon S.p.A products

Each box includes a vial containing 1200 ng of ION-Force purified target DNA at a concentration 8 ng/µl extracted from raw material or heat treated material respectively upon customer request.

Adulteration of meat in processed food is a sensitive issue since certain meat species are prohibited in some religions such as Islam and Judaism or considered a taboo in most cultures when the animal is considered a pet and not as a source of food. These meat species are also potential carriers of hepatitis, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), anthrax, and some other deadly zoonoses. Canine meat is not only taboo in most cultures but also under religious prohibition. Dog meats were often sold as chicken meats and since dog population is huge in most parts of the world and its meat does not have any value in legal markets, dog meat could be considered as a highly potential adulterant in halal, kosher, and other foods. DNA analysis represents a primary defense against this food fraud and This 2-plex Real-Time PCR kit with internal amplification control, detects DOG traces down to 0.1% (w/w) in DNA extracted from any food product.

DNA extraction is often the most time consuming experimental step in the detection of food contaminants. FASTfood is a quick DNA extraction kit adressing the need of short time-to-results. The protocol doesn`t include a DNA purification and concentration step, as a consequence, the use of the kit is limited to specific purposes: DNA extraction from enriched bacterial cultures - DNA extraction from simple and uniform food samples to be tested quickly on receival. The kit doesn`t contain or require any cancerogenic chemical (e.g. chloroform or phenol) and the protocol allows for automation through robotic liquid handlers.

ION Spin K is the kit designed by Generon R&D for the extraction of DNA from various food matrices and microbiological samples, working with a minimal lab set-up. The protocol uses the same reagents of ION Force (Cat# EXD001) with the addition of proteinase-K, and it was adapted to a 1-gram maximum test sample size. A perfect compromise between practicability and DNA quality.

Laboratory reference material ideal as process control and reference for detection methods verification purposes. ReMaGI are prepared following ISO 17034 indications using a dispersive flour (proven allergens free) spiked with dehydrated allergens powder (from edible part) evenly dispersed. Homogeneity is proven extracting down to 100 mg of material and testing the signal obtained both via ELISA and PCR. Each kit contains: [Tube 0] - 2 grams of dispersive maize flour allergen free [Tube 1] - 2 grams of flour spiked with 83 ppm of wheat [Tube 2] - 2 grams of flour spiked with 166 ppm of wheat

ELISA test for gluten based on R5 antibody as prescribed by the Codex Alimentarius. The kit can be used for the quantitative analysis of ingredients, CIP rinses and finished food products intended to be gluten free. It can also be used for screening environmental swabs. Gliadin and other prolamins in wheat, barley and rye are extracted and sampled with a 60% ethanol solution or a cocktail with a high concentration of mercaptoethanol according to the Mendez method by shaking in a shaker or rotator. The extract is diluted in buffered saline (PBS) and diluted samples are added to R5 antibody-coated wells (capture antibody) where gliadin will bind to the antibody during an incubation period. To be subsequently detected by a second R5 antibody (detector antibody) labeled with an enzyme that in the presence of a special substrate develops a coloration proportional to the concentration of gluten.
