Molecular Biology Food Testing

Advanced Molecular Biology Food Testing Solutions for Your Needs

Ensuring food authenticity, safety, and regulatory compliance increasingly relies on precise molecular biology methods. At Mérieux NutriSciences, we provide advanced molecular biology food testing services designed to meet the highest quality and reliability standards across the global food industry.

Our laboratories combine decades of expertise in microbiology, molecular biology, and chemistry to deliver integrated analytical solutions that help manufacturers and retailers guarantee product integrity and consumer trust.

Through innovative molecular techniques — from PCR and ELISA to Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) — we support every step of your quality control strategy, from contamination detection to ingredient verification.

Our Molecular Biology Toolbox

Our laboratories offer an extensive molecular biology toolbox designed to meet the most demanding analytical challenges.

Whether you need to analyze food contamination, verify ingredients, or detect allergens and genetically modified organisms (GMOs), we will identify the most appropriate molecular methods.

Modern molecular biology allows the detection of specific DNA or protein sequences, enabling a broad range of applications:

• GENE-UP® TYPER for rapid identification of contamination sources, comparison with historical strains, and visualization of microbial patterns to support fast and targeted food safety decisions.
• DNA analysis for GMO detection and quantification, animal and plant species identification, and allergen detection at DNA level.
• PCR methods for rapid detection, differentiation, and quantification of pathogenic microorganisms such as Salmonella, Campylobacter, Listeria, and Legionella.
• Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) for advanced applications such as metabarcoding (identification of all animal or plant components) and whole genome sequencing (WGS) to trace microbial contamination in production environments.
