By combining three primer sets, more accurate determinations are possible!
This product is a primer set for identifying foreign substances derived from insects. Unlike the current mainstream identification based on morphological characteristics, this method uses DNA sequences as indicators, allowing for accurate insect species identification without the need for skilled techniques. Please use it as one of your quality control tools. In recent years, consumer interest in food safety and security has increased, and particularly, foreign substances mixed into food have become a major factor causing consumers to have a negative image of food. To ensure reliability and improve quality for our customers, we provide higher quality foreign substance identification testing. 【Features】 - Primers are designed to amplify regions that reflect differences in insect species within the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I gene and the 16S ribosomal RNA gene. - Since it uses short DNA sequences as indicators, it can also identify insect foreign substances that have undergone heat processing. - By combining three primer sets, more accurate determinations can be made. - We offer free samples for testing. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Company information
In recent years, advancements in molecular biology have led to remarkable progress in research such as the determination of the complete genome sequences of organisms and subsequent gene function analysis. Along with these technological advancements, molecular biological techniques such as nucleotide sequence analysis, real-time PCR, and DNA chips have become widely utilized in the field of food analysis. Since its establishment in 2001, Fasmak Co., Ltd. has been developing technologies for the "Japanese Standard Analysis Method" for genetically modified foods and food allergens in collaboration with related agencies of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries and the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare. The developed testing technologies are provided not only in Japan but also in the United States, China, and other countries. Additionally, Fasmak has been actively engaged in international standardization activities for "food inspection methods using molecular biological techniques" since its establishment, and its technical capabilities are internationally recognized. Furthermore, in partnership with Eurofins Scientific, one of the world's largest testing companies, Fasmak is advancing the introduction of the high technical capabilities possessed by the Eurofins Group. Moving forward, Fasmak will continue to provide world-class new testing technologies to everyone.
