Food allergens detection, species identification
Phylogene SA was launched in 1999 with the objective of 
developing methods of identification and ways to authenticate, using DNA and proteins.
The applications are mainly the service to the food industry, health industry including in vitro diagnostics, cosmetics, environment industry as expertise or analysis and as kit developer to the diagnostics industry.
Accreditation n°1-2128 Extension available on www.cofrac.fr
News
Species identification: horse, beef, pork, fish...:
Yes, PHYLOGENE does it (for more than 10 years)
Yes, you can choose your species according your estimated risk
Yes, quantitation is possible. It is like horse/beef+horse+pork
Accreditation Extension for food allergens:
On January 2013 the 1st, Phylogene got an flexible scope accreditation according to ISO 17025 standard, for the detection and quantification of allergen in food by immunoenzymatic method (ELISA) Accreditation n° 1-2128 detailed scope on http://www.cofrac.fr
Whole Genome Mapping:
Our partner OpGen has a new website
Recently, Genome Builder, a new software application has been launched providing breakthrough improvements in large genome assembly
PHYLOGENE is part of the EU EMIDA-NET project named PATHOFISH dedicated to the control of Flavobacteria infections in fish farms. Phylogene will develop ELISA and qPCR techniques
Santall: health claims
Out of the 4,637 claims submitted to EFSA by the European Commission between July 2008 and March 2010, the European Commission asked EFSA to evaluate 2,758 claims by June 2011, 331 claims were withdrawn and 1,548 claims on “botanicals” have been placed on hold by the Commission pending further consideration on how to proceed with these.
Only 9 claims have been accepted, the other will need further datas to be submitted.

ALLERGENS IN WINE: Regulation n°CE 579/2012
The regulation n° 579/2012 was published on June 30th 2012. The labelling of milk or egg is now mandatory on 2012 wines when using these fining agents. Its "whereas" n° (3) goes to the OIV-COMEX 502-2012 resolution which gives the 0,25ppm detection threshold. It means that the labelling is not necessary under this detected quantity .
PHYLOGENE - allergen specialized lab- tested all the available techniques for allergen tracking in wines. Many differences were seen between the ELISA kits about the false positive and false negative results (see study). To discard these risks and secure the bottle labelling it is necessary to check these two points when starting the analysis.
Mass spectrometry
Mass spectrometry possibilities and proteomics applications
PHYLOGENE-mass spectrometry has been granted by EUROSTARS for it's NOSO-FIGHT project about Healthcare-Associated Infections.
PHYLOGENE-mass spectrometry is participated to the ID-THON project about tuna species identification
