In the modern food industry, safety, authenticity, and regulatory compliance depend on more than labels and documentation. The most reliable answers are found at the molecular level, where DNA and RNA provide definitive evidence of species identity, pathogen contamination, genetic modification, and viral presence.
At METS Laboratory, our DNA/RNA Extraction & Quantification services form the foundation of advanced molecular testing. By isolating and preparing high-quality nucleic acids from food, water, environmental, and cosmetic samples, we enable highly sensitive PCR and RT-PCR analyses that support food manufacturers, importers, exporters, cosmetic industries, certification bodies, and regulatory authorities.
DNA and RNA extraction is the critical first step in molecular diagnostics. Effective extraction ensures that genetic material can be accurately analyzed, even in complex sample matrices where processing, heat treatment, preservatives, chemical formulations, or environmental contaminants may interfere with conventional testing methods.
Each sample type presents a unique and complex structure. Therefore, extraction procedures are carefully optimized and modified according to the specific sample matrix to ensure efficient recovery of high-quality nucleic acids suitable for downstream molecular analysis.
By applying matrix-specific extraction strategies, METS Laboratory ensures reliable identification, detection, and verification of biological targets across diverse testing applications.
Meat Species Authentication
Food fraud and species substitution remain major concerns throughout global supply chains. DNA-based testing enables accurate species identification, even in highly processed products where visual inspection is impossible.
Our laboratory performs DNA extraction to support the detection and verification of:
Species-specific molecular analysis helps verify label claims, support Halal and Kosher certification programs, prevent adulteration, and strengthen consumer confidence.
Rapid and reliable pathogen detection is essential for protecting public health and ensuring regulatory compliance. Our DNA extraction services support molecular detection of key foodborne bacterial pathogens, including:
Accurate DNA extraction enhances the sensitivity of PCR-based testing, enabling early detection of contamination before products reach consumers.
As regulatory requirements and consumer expectations continue to evolve, GMO testing has become an important component of food quality assurance programs.
METS Laboratory performs DNA extraction to support the detection and identification of genetically modified organisms in food products, ingredients, and agricultural commodities, helping organizations meet labeling and compliance requirements.
Water quality directly influences food safety, agricultural production, and public health. Our laboratory provides DNA extraction services for the molecular detection of important protozoan parasites, including:
These organisms can contaminate water supplies and food processing environments, making routine monitoring an essential preventive measure.
RNA extraction requires specialized methodologies to preserve the integrity of viral genetic material and ensure reliable detection.
METS Laboratory performs RNA extraction for RT-PCR analysis of significant foodborne and waterborne viral pathogens, including:
Accurate viral RNA recovery supports outbreak investigations, environmental monitoring programs, and food safety surveillance initiatives aimed at protecting public health.
DNA/RNA Quantification
Accurate quantification of extracted DNA and RNA is an important component of molecular testing workflows. Quantification helps ensure that sufficient nucleic acid is available for downstream PCR and RT-PCR analysis, supporting reliable target detection and consistent analytical performance.
Combined with optimized extraction procedures, DNA/RNA quantification contributes to robust and reproducible molecular testing results across food, water, environmental, and cosmetic applications.
