The genesig q16 is a DNA detection instrument which offers direct identification of food products origins and what’s within them.

In order to eliminate health risks to the consumer, there is a need to determine the source of food products and to check for food adulteration. DNA detection allows for animal/plant foods products to have species origin determination (speciation) and to identify whether a bacteria, fungus or virus has contaminated the food.

Why should you use a genesig q16 to test food?

  • Protect your brand by reducing product recalls risk and negative press
  • Increases manufacturing efficiency by reducing downtime
  • Very simple to implement in-house
  • Very small instrument so will not require large space
  • The genesig q16 can be used ANYWHERE

When do you need DNA detection?

  1. Speciation – The q16 can calculate the exact percentage of a particular species the food product contains (e.g. how much horse is there in my beefburger)
  2. Animal Finder – Can determine animal presence in non-animal products or as part of a cleaning procedure (e.g. testing the manufacturing line has been effectively cleaned)
  3. Pathogen detection – Can identify specific harmful organisms which might have contaminated food (e.g. salmonella on chicken)
  4. GMO – Identification of food products which contain GMO modifications

Why choose genesig q16 over traditional techniques?
