Our GMO testing capabilities

We offer GMO testing for grains, food and feed products using Real-Time PCR technology. Our DNA-based qualitative and quantitative RT-PCR testing enables us to determine GMO levels in a wide range of products, including: 

  • Canola 
  • Corn 
  • Soybean  
  • Flax 
  • Alfalfa 
  • Wheat 
  • Processed products, such as natural health products, pet food, finished bakery and snack products 

We provide GMO screens for all kinds of grains, food and feed products.

Accurate and efficient GMO testing to ensure quality, traceability and sustainability.

In today's fast-paced business environment, efficiency and precision are essential. Say goodbye to long waiting times and expensive shipping costs. Say hello to a streamlined process that ensures your products reach their destination quickly while meeting strict quality and compliance standards.

Navigating GMO regulations

As the planting of GMO crops has extended around the world, many countries have implemented regulations prohibiting the use of GMOs (genetically modified organisms) in food products. Growers that wish to trade with countries specifying GMO-free products must ensure that the products, including raw ingredients, they supply meet national and international standards. Time and cost-effectiveness are vital for success in this endeavor.
