NofaLab Strengthens GMO Testing with 50 Expanded Events

GMO Testing by Cotecna Laboratories

Two of Cotecna's leading laboratories, NofaLab and Neotron, offer comprehensive GMO testing services. These capabilities address the growing demand for accurate GMO analysis in the food and feed industry, ensuring products meet regulatory and quality standards worldwide.

NofaLab expands GMO analysis scope to meet growing market demand

NofaLab is proud to announce a major milestone in GMO (genetically modified organism) analysis. Over the past year, we have expanded our testing scope from 22 to 50 GMO events, solidifying our position as a leading service provider in the industry. This expansion addresses growing market demand for precise and reliable GMO testing, with a focus on key crops such as soy, maize, and canola.

Why this expansion matters

The surge in demand for GMO testing reflects increasing consumer awareness and stringent regulatory requirements. With 50 GMO events now in our repertoire, we offer:

• Comprehensive coverage: Detection and quantification of a broad range of GMO traits across multiple crops.
• Regulatory compliance: Support for navigating complex global GMO labeling and content regulations.
• Customized solutions: Flex-Scope, our tailored analysis option, provides insights into Limits of Detection (LODs) and Limits of Quantification (LOQs).

Neotron: A partner in GMO testing

Our sister company, Neotron, also leads in GMO testing for the food and feed industry in Europe. Neotron ensures products meet EU regulations, including:

• Initial screening for common DNA sequences (e.g., 35S promoter, NOS terminator).
• Qualitative and quantitative analyses to identify GMO contamination.
• Testing for both authorized and non-authorized GMO events across crops like soy, corn, and flax.

As a VLOG (Verband Lebensmittel ohne Gentechnik e.V.) Recognized Laboratory, Neotron’s methods align with the highest standards, complementing NofaLab’s services.
