Method Validation of the real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) approach for the quantitation of horse DNA

Abstract:
A follow-up to Defra project FA135, developing a PCR method for horse DNA. Further limited but focused validation to benchmark the performance of the method and provide additional evidence of the fitness for purpose of the method in its application to different sources of horse-meat, processed and complex food materials, and its ability to detect and quantify horse-meat around the current de-minimus 1% threshold
