EN 15634-1:2009 (E) 4 Introduction This European Standard describes the procedure to qualitatively detect and/or quantitate DNA as markers for potentially allergenic ingredients or constituents by analysing the nucleic acids extracted from the sample under study. The qualitative detection of DNA targets is performed in order to get a yes or no answer to the question whether a certain DNA fragment is detected or not relative to appropriate controls and within the detection limits of the analytical method used and the test portion analysed.
The quantitative detection of DNA targets is performed to express the quantity of DNA targets, relative to the quantity of a specific reference, appropriate calibrants and controls and within the dynamic range of the analytical method used and the test portion analysed. Appropriate procedures for extraction of nucleic acids are included in each method. The main focus of this European Standard will be on PCR based amplification methods. However, because of the rapid rate of technological change in this area, other amplification technologies and detection methods may be considered.

EN 15634-1:2009 (E) 7 4 General laboratory requirements 4.1 General A draft European Standard dealing with General considerations and validation criteria of methods was adopted as prEN 15842:2008.
4.2 Laboratory organisation Compliance with applicable requirements with respect to safety regulations and manufacturer’s safety recommendation shall be followed.
Accidental contamination of DNA can originate from dust or spreading aerosols. As a consequence, the organisation of the work area in the laboratory is logically based on:
the systemic containment of the methodological steps involved in the production of the results, and
a forward flow principle for sample handling. A minimum of three separately designated work areas with their own apparatus is required:
a) a work area for extraction of the nucleic acid from the test portion (sample); b) a work area dedicated to the set up of PCR/amplification reactions; and c) a work area dedicated for subsequent processing including analysis and characterisation of the amplified DNA segments. If dust particle producing grinding techniques are used, this has to be carried out in a separate work area. Physical separation through the use of different rooms is the most effective and preferable way of ensuring separated work areas, but other physical or biochemical methods may be used as a protection against contamination provided their effectiveness is comparable. Staff shall wear different sets of lab coats at each dedicated work area. They shall also wear disposable gloves. Gloves and lab coats should be changed at appropriated frequencies. 4.3 Apparatus and equipment The laboratory should use properly maintained equipment suitable for the method employed, e.g. according to the requirements outlined by EN ISO/IEC 17025 [2]. In addition to standard laboratory equipment, additional apparatus are described in the specific methods. Apparatus and equipment shall be maintained according to manufacturer’s instructions. Calibration systems shall be available and calibration routinely performed for equipment which may impact the data produced, according to laboratory quality assurance programs. 4.4 Material and reagents For the analysis, unless otherwise stated, use only analytically pure reagents suitable for molecular biology, free from DNA and DNAses. Reagents and solutions should be stored at room temperature, unless otherwise specified. PCR reagents should be stored in small aliquots to minimize the risk of contamination. The water used shall be double distilled or equivalent, free from DNA and nucleases (molecular biology grade). Solutions are prepared by dissolving the appropriate reagents in water and autoclaved unless specified differently. Ultra-filtration devices can be used, when autoclaving is not possible. SIST EN 15634-1:2009
EN 15634-1:2009 (E) 8 In order to avoid contamination, all the appliances and the parts of equipment in contact with the samples, as well as work surfaces should be easy to clean and decontaminate. Work surfaces cleansing and decontamination is recommended before use and additionally when/where there is a suspicion for contamination. Sterile techniques could be adopted in the PCR set up area – powder-free gloves, sterilised plastic-ware, sterilised glassware, autoclaved reagents, disposable plastic-wares, aerosol-protected pipette tips could be used. 5 Procedure
5.1 Principle
Qualitative analysis consists of specific extraction and detection of target nucleic acid sequences in the test portion. A qualitative result shall clearly demonstrate the presence or absence of the target (class, order, family, genus or species) under study, relative to appropriate controls and within the detection limits of the analytical method used and test portion analysed. Quantitative analysis consists, in addition, of the quantitation of target DNA sequences in the test portion. 5.2 General
The analysis of food allergens by molecular biology methodology usually involves the following stages: isolation (/extraction) of nucleic acid; amplification and detection of specific target sequences; confirmation of the specificity of the amplified fragment; and quantitation of the amplified fragments relative to calibrants.
