Dear Members and Colleagues
This is to announce the 9th ISTA Proficiency Test on GMO
Testing, on Maize (Zea mays L.).
Since GMO testing has been included in the ISTA Accreditation
Programme, the participation in the ISTA Proficiency Tests on
GMO Testing is compulsory for those laboratories which have GMO
testing methods in their scope of accreditation.
The ISTA Proficiency Test on GMO Testing is also open to any
other laboratory involved in GM seed testing.
Your laboratory can select the method appropriate to detect the
presence or absence of GM seeds and to quantify their presence
in samples of conventional seeds.
Laboratories interested in participating should please send
their registration form to the ISTA Secretariat as soon as
possible. The registration form and a detailed announcement can
be found on the ISTA Website at:
