一種檢測歐盟批準的基因改造生物(GMOs)和未批準的GMOs的快速檢測方法已經研制成功。

漢堡生物科技供應商Eppendorf生物芯片系統(tǒng)GmbH(Germany)已經生產出一種有效的系統(tǒng)，能夠檢測只存在于GMO植物中的特定DNA片斷。與傳統(tǒng)方法相比較，基因芯片方法能夠同時檢測出一個基因文庫中大量的單個成分。特定模式定位于生物芯片之中，然后可以使用配套軟件進行觀察和評估。
 
Biochip Detects Genetically Modified Organisms in Food
 
A method has been developed that reliably tests for both genetically modified organisms (GMOs) currently approved by the European Union (EU) and non-approved GMOs.

Hamburg biotech supplier Eppendorf Biochip Systems GmbH (Germany) has produced an effective system based on the detection of specific DNA elements used only in GMO plants The advantage of the biochip method compared to conventional tests is that it can detect numerous individual elements of one gene library simultaneously. The specific patterns are located on the biochip, where they are visualized and evaluated by means of matching software.
