Product description
The Thermo Scientific TaqMan GMO Screening Kit enables real-time PCR detection of genetically
modified organisms (GMOs). It detects the most commonly used regulatory elements in genetically
modified plants:
The 35S promoter (P35S) from cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV).
The NOS terminator (TNOS) from Agrobacterium tumefaciens.
The 34S promoter (P34S) from figwort mosaic virus (FMV).
These regulatory elements are used in the majority of GMOs approved by the EU and are described in
GMO databases throughout the world.
P35S and TNOS are traditionally analyzed to screen for transgenic material in foods. P34S is analyzed
to identify the presence of:
MON89788 soy
H7-1 sugar beet
GT73 rape
Other genetically modified crops that use this more recently adopted promoter element
The regulatory elements present in GMOs are found naturally in the viruses and bacteria from which
they were originally obtained. To reduce the chance of false positive results from these naturally
occurring microbes, the TaqMan GMO Screening Kit enables concurrent detection of genomic regions
exclusive to these three microbes. This enables users to verify that the positive results are from the
presence of genetically modified material and not due to the natural presence of one of the original
source microbes. Results can therefore be interpreted as the presence of genetically modified material
or potentially due to the natural presence of material from these microbes.
The TaqMan GMO Screening Kit includes primers, TaqMan probes, and required reagents for
detection of P35S, TNOS, and P34S sequences, as well as a ubiquitous plant target. The kit includes
a Positive Control containing the templates for the P35S, TNOS, and P34S regulatory elements, the
1
4TaqMan GMO Screening Kit User Guide
CaMV, A. tumefaciens, and FMV genomic regions, and plant target. An internal positive control (IPC) is
also included.
The PCR detection limit of the TaqMan GMO Screening Kit is five DNA copies per reaction for each of
the regions analyzed by the kit. The kit enables the detection of 0.1% or less of GMO plant species in a
background of non-GMO material, as demonstrated by the use of certified GMO reference standards.
Principle of the screening procedure
For each sample, four PCR reactions are performed. Each reaction is a multiplex PCR using the FAM
and VIC channels.
PCR Master Mix FAM target VIC target
P35S Master Mix P35S CaMV genomic
TNOS Master Mix TNOS A. tumefaciens genomic
P34S Master Mix P34S FMV genomic
Plant Master Mix (control reaction) Plant IPC (internal positive control)
In the GMO target reactions:
A positive result for the regulatory region target (FAM) but not the genomic region (VIC) indicates
transgenic material.
A positive result in both FAM and VIC indicates that transgenic material cannot be confirmed.
For more information, see “Analyze results” on page9.

Good laboratory practices for PCR
Note: Spin tubes/plates before performing PCR. Spinning of PCR tubes is most easily accomplished
by using a centrifuge designed for PCR tubes or plates. Follow manufacturer instructions for loading
tubes/plates.
To avoid amplicon contamination of samples, follow these guidelines when preparing or handling
samples for PCR amplification:
Wear clean gloves and a clean lab coat (not previously worn while handling amplified products or
used during sample preparation).
Change gloves whenever you suspect that they are contaminated.
Maintain separate areas and dedicated equipment and supplies for:
Sample preparation and reaction setup.
Amplification and analysis of products.
Do not bring amplified products into the reaction setup area.
Open and close all sample tubes carefully. Avoid splashing or spraying samples.
Keep reactions and components capped as much as possible.
Use a positive-displacement pipettor or aerosol-resistant barrier pipette tips.
Do not open reaction tubes after PCR.
Do not autoclave reaction tubes after PCR.
Clean lab benches and equipment periodically with 10% bleach solution or DNAZap Solutions
(Cat. No.AM9890). After cleaning with bleach we recommend a rinse with an ethanol solution
because bleach will rust stainless steel.
For additional information, refer to EN ISO 22174:2005 or www.thermofisher.com/us/en/home/life-
science/pcr/real-time-learning-center/real-time-pcr-basics.html.
Plate layout suggestions
Separate dierent targets by a row if enough space is available.
Put at least one well between unknown samples and controls if possible.
Separate negative and positive controls by one well if possible.
Place replicates of one sample for the same target next to each other.
Start with the unknown samples and put controls at the end of the row or column.
Put positive controls in one of the outer rows or columns if possible.
Consider that caps for PCR tubes come in strips of 8 or 12.
