Company Information
Over two decades of experience in the development of molecular biology kits have led to a comprehensive portfolio of competitive products, which set food safety standards worldwide. Gold Standard Diagnostics Freiburg kit portfolio offers the most efficient analytical solutions for food and feed testing laboratories. The company is specialised in the development, validation and production of real-time PCR and immunoassay applications for:
- Food-borne & Water-borne Bacterial Pathogens: Real-time PCR (BACGene) and ELISA (BACSpec) kits are available for the detection of Salmonella, Listeria, Legionella and Shiga-toxin producing E. coli (STEC) in numerous matrices. Salmonella, Listeria and E. coli O157:H7 kits offer quick results and are certified by the AOAC Research Institute under the Performance Tested MethodsSM Programme and by NF Validation certification. Additionally, the BACGene STEC Top7 workflow is also certified by the AOAC Research Institute under the Performance Tested MethodsSM Programme.
- Viral Pathogens: The VIRSeek Solution virus testing portfolio includes real-time RT-PCR kits for the detection of hepatitis A virus (HAV), the norovirus genogroups I & II (NoVGI & NoVGII), hepatitis E virus (HEV) and the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus. To complement these kits, an RNA extraction kit and a process control kit are available.
- Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs): The comprehensive portfolio contains a wide range of real-time and conventional PCR kits for the screening (GMOScreen), identification (GMOIdent) and quantification (GMOQuant) of GMOs.
- Animal Species: The DNAnimal product line offers a broad spectrum of sensitive real-time PCR methods for a variety of animal species and taxonomic groups.
- DNA Extraction: GENESpin and DNAExtractor kits for the extraction of DNA from various matrices for subsequent analysis are available, and DNA cleaning columns can additionally be used, if needed, for purification of the DNA, following the use of either of the extraction kits.
Besides kits and other technical solutions, Gold Standard Diagnostics Freiburg offers additional support such as free webinars and practical training to help customers set up an efficient testing laboratory.

GMO Testing Kits
Food & Beverage
Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are grown on an increasingly large scale. The varying worldwide approval and labelling situations create challenges for GMO testing laboratories. This makes having a reliable and experienced partner in GMO testing essential. Our GMO testing kits allow for the identification or exclusion of single GMO events and can be applied to a wide variety of processed and unprocessed food and feed products. Eurofins GeneScan Technologies’ kits can be applied to answer questions such as… Does the sample contain GMOs or GM material? Which GMO events are present and are these events approved in the country of destination? What is the proportion of the GMO in the sample and does the sample have to be labelled? Is there a technically unavoidable presence of GMO due to cross-contamination or a botanical impurity? All these questions and more can be answered with the help of our comprehensive GMO kits portfolio.
DNAnimal Testing Kits
Food & Beverage
Adulteration of food products is an important topic for food quality in particular keeping in mind allergies, ethics and regulations amongst other factors. Eurofins GeneScan Technologies' DNAnimal testing kits have been developed in order to verify authenticity of food products by detecting adulterations in regards to quality assurance. DNAnimal Screen kits enable the screening for different taxonomic groups or animal species and have been developed for a range of food and feed testing strategies, including testing of vegetarian or vegan foods. The DNAnimal Ident kits enable the detection and identification of individual animal species and can be applied for identifying or excluding individual animal species. In addition to highly sensitive real-time PCR kits, genomic control DNA is available for an even broader range of animal species.
BACGene Testing Kits
Food & Beverage
The Eurofins GeneScan Technologies BACGene kits provide the means of a fast and reliable detection of food pathogens including Salmonella spp., Listeria monocytogenes, Listeria spp. and E. coli O157:H7.
VIRSeek Solution Testing Kits
Food & Beverage
The workflow is a comprehensive, ISO-compliant approach to virus detection of norovirus genogroup I, norovirus genogroup II and hepatitis A virus in food. Eurofins GeneScan Technologies have five kits to provide the user with the tools to complete the virus detection from viral extraction to real-time RT-PCR, including a process control. Viral RNA can be extracted from a number of different food matrices including soft fruits, vegetables, bivalve molluscan shellfish, bottled water as well as on food surfaces.
BACSpec Testing Kits
Food & Beverage
The Eurofins GeneScan Technologies BACSpec kits are ELISA-based assays for a fast and convenient detection of Salmonella and Listeria. The BACSpec kits can be used manually or automated with the GSD Bolt™ or Thunderbolt® analysers.Microbiology Product Areas
