Meet the only DNA ID Test on the market for Shiitake (Lentinula edodes) that gets you an accurate Certificate of Analysis for your label validation needs. Whether you're sourcing raw materials, powders, or extracts, LeafWorks' mushroom species ID tests were developed using true species specific markers to provide unmatched accuracy and reliability, ensuring the integrity and authenticity of your mushroom products.
In an industry where quality and authenticity are paramount, DNA testing offers a powerful tool in your toolbox for ensuring product integrity. Mushrooms, one of the fastest growing sectors in the natural products space, are susceptible to adulteration and mislabeling, but the common means of testing, such as chemistry-based methods, cannot distinguish mushroom species. Chemistry based approaches have difficulty identifying mushroom species due to overlapping chemical profiles. This leaves the entire mushroom natural product sector without testing solutions for quality assurance. DNA does not have this problem. With our species specific assays, LeafWorks delivers confidence through DNA. You can verify the identity of your mushroom products, safeguarding your reputation and protecting your customers.
Label validation is a crucial aspect of regulatory compliance, especially in the natural products industry. Regulatory bodies require accurate labeling of ingredients through 21 CFR 111, including mushrooms. However, until now, there were no accurate tests available for mushroom species identification. Not anymore. By utilizing our DNA testing service, you can ensure compliance with regulations, demonstrating the authenticity of your mushroom products and avoiding potential penalties or recalls.
Universal barcodes like Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) or universal barcoding have been demonstrated to be inaccurate in mushrooms (Thines, M., Crous, P.W., Aime, M.C. et al., 2018;Bradshaw et al., 2023;Lücking, R., Aime, M.C., Robbertse, B. et al., 2020), so why take the risk when they are clearly not a one-size-fits-all solution? Our novel approach utilizes species specific genes that have been vetted against Certified Reference Material to the utmost stringency to give you accurate and consistent results every time.
Our DNA testing process is simple and efficient. We analyze samples from multiple matrices, including raw materials, powders, and extracts, using state-of-the-art DNA sequencing technology. We test them against our RTqPCR tests that leverage species specific markers to accurately identify and authenticate the presence of mushroom species in your products. We provide you a Certificate of Analysis (CoA) indicating whether the mushroom is present or not.
Don't leave the authenticity of your mushroom products to chance. Partner with us and harness the power of DNA testing to ensure product integrity and compliance with regulations. Order today and take the next step towards growing your trusted and reputable natural products brand.
