VALIDATION CASES
3 CASES IN REALISTIC SCENARIO
DARWIN brings forward three cases which will validate the methods in realistic scenarios together with industry and law enforcement authorities. These validation cases aim to validate NGT products towards regulatory compliance and showcase fit-for-purpose solutions for a variety of NGT organisms in the EU agri-food market.
GMO PRODUCT APPROVAL
CASE #1
Industrial case
Rice and tomato
Methods #1 (RT-qPCR) and #7 (WGS)
Bioinformatic tools
Simulation of two GMO approval scenarios. The authorization process is simulated from the submission to full validation with current and potentially changed regulation.
NON-GMO AND ORGANIC FOOD CERTIFICATION
CASE #2
Industrial case
Rice
Method #4 (ddPCR)
Blockchain solution
Decision Support System (DSS) solution
AI models
Application of a validated PCR method & proposal of an alternative traceability systems to be applied to EU value chains.
GMO COMPLIANCE
CASE #3
Law enforcement laboratory case
Rice
Method #8 (metagenomic sequencing)
AI/ML Models (genetic fingerprint)
Simulation of a possible approach to build a workflow for the implementation of official analytical control at EU member state level.
