1 Food DNA-Chip CarnoCheck high sensitive For the highly sensitive detection of 8 animal species in food products

2 CarnoCheck high sensitive DNA chip for the highly sensitive and simultaneous identification of 8 animal species in food products. The horse meat scandal in 2013 highlighted the potential for the abuse of the labelling of animal meat products. False declarations of meat food products lead to the compulsory testing of the origin of food products down to the species level. The scandal highlighted the fact that food could have been falsely labelled for a number of years because the analysis conducted failed to identify a sufficient number of alternative species. Microarray technology can help to establish a wider screening panel in routine food testing and to support thus the safety and integrity of the food supply chain. CarnoCheck high sensitive is a microarray-based test kit for the highly sensitive qualitative detection of eight animal species in raw, cooked or fully preserved food products. With CarnoCheck high sensitive 8 animal species are detected in a single analysis with a sensitivity of 0.1%. fluorescent labels and buffer to amplify and label the species-specific DNA of all 8 animal species present in the sample during the PCR reaction. Species differentiation is accomplished by the hybridization of the fluorescently labeled PCR products to the CarnoCheck high sensitive microarrays. Each microarray contains replicates of species specific probes and a sophisticated set of internal and external controls making CarnoCheck a robust and reliable DNA based detection system. Even more product safety is added due to the automatic digital evaluation and report generation, which practically excludes false-positive and falsenegative results. The CarnoCheck high sensitive workflow is very user-friendly due to the development of a complete protocol from sample preparation to result analysis with minimized hands-on steps and time. Furthermore, 6 or 12 analyses can be done in parallel on one chip, which leads to an effective throughput with no extra hands-on time. The CarnoCheck high sensitive analysis starts by extracting the genomic DNA from a food sample using the Fast Extraction Kit (REF ). The Fast Extraction protocol is exceptionally quicking and user-friendly: only 6 working steps, 5 min of hands-on time and 25 min incubation time. The minimization of hands-on steps effectively reduces the contamination risk during the extraction procedure. After extraction, Taq Polymerase is added the CarnoCheck high sensitive PCR Mastermix, which contains an internal PCR control, primer, CarnoCheck high sensitive DNA-Chip 2

3 Working Schedule for CarnoCheck high-sensitive 1 Sample Collection 2 Fast Extraction 3 PCR 4 Hybridisation Incubation time: - Incubation time: 25 min Incubation time: 3,5 h Incubation time: 20 min 100 mg of a homogenous food sample is collected The newly developed Fast Extraction protocol minimizes the steps and hands-on time necessary for sample preparation for PCR. The PCR protocol allows a highly sensitive detection of animal species in raw, cooked or processed food samples. The performance of the PCR is monitored by the PCR Control. Each species is detected by a specific DNA probe present in five replicates. The hybridization procedure is controlled via an onspot hybridization control. Detectable species Animal species detectable with CarnoCheck high sensitive donkey (Equus Asinus) beef (Bos taurus) chicken (Gallus Gallus) sheep (Ovis Aries) horse (Equus Caballus) pork (Sus Scrofa) turkey (Meleagris Gallopavo) goat (Capra Hircus) 3

4 Total Time Hands-on time: 25 min Incubation time: 4,5 h 5 Wash & Dry Incubation time: 2 min Unbound DNA is removed in the washing steps. The chips are dried by centrifugation. 6 Scanning & Analysis Hands-on time: - Incubation time: 10 min The CarnoCheck high sensitive chip is scanned, analysed and evaluated using the CheckScanner and CheckReport - Software. A report is created that clearly indicates the presence or absence of one or more of the animal species detectable. 4
