In recent years the food production industry has been placed under intense scrutiny. This has led to an increased pressure for advancements in the field of speciation testing. Quantitative PCR is a highly sensitive and accurate method of assaying samples for nucleic acid content. In combination with well-established DNA extraction procedures, PCR is now being used by many labs to quantify relative levels of animal DNA in total meat. Using the 2^-∆∆Cq method, calculations can be accurately applied to multiplex formats of speciation tests (including two sets of primer and probe, one for the species of interest, the other as a universal detection system), using total DNA as a positive control calibrator sample.
