This is to announce the 18th ISTA Proficiency Test on GMO Testing, on Maize (Zea mays).
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 ISTA member 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 a completed registration form to the ISTA Secretariat (tcom@ista.ch) before March 29, 2013.
The registration form and a detailed announcement can be found on the ISTA Website under the following link:
