Current DNA-based Halal food authentication methods are often hindered by high costs, long processing times, and concerns over accuracy. Many existing solutions rely on expensive, imported reagents, leading to price fluctuations and supply chain delays. Additionally, traditional qPCR detection kits may not offer the required sensitivity, potentially compromising the reliability of results. This is particularly problematic for industries where even trace amounts of porcine contamination can affect compliance with Halal standards. With growing consumer demand for transparent and highly reliable food testing, there is a pressing need for a cost-effective, rapid, and locally produced solution.

NexaBiotech has developed a comprehensive molecular testing solution for Halal food authentication, combining its DNA Extraction Kit and DNALYZE qPCR Porcine Detection Kit (Lyophilised). The DNA Extraction Kit, a Malaysia-owned IP, provides cost-effective and efficient DNA extraction across various food matrices. Designed to deliver high DNA yield and reproducibility, it minimises the need for repeated testing, ensuring reliable results. Complementing this, the DNALYZE qPCR Porcine Detection Kit offers high sensitivity, capable of detecting porcine DNA at 0.001 pg in meat and 0.01 pg in other food matrices. Its lyophilised format enhances ease of use by allowing room temperature stability, reducing storage constraints. By integrating these two advanced products, laboratories and food manufacturers can achieve faster, more accurate Halal testing at a significantly lower cost, improving both efficiency and accessibility.

NexaBiotech’s proprietary DNA extraction and qPCR technology revolutionises Halal food authentication by offering a streamlined, high-precision testing workflow. Unlike conventional methods, which often require multiple kits for different food types, NexaBiotech’s DNA Extraction Kit is versatile and effective across various food matrices, including meat, gelatin, and oil-based products.The DNALYZE qPCR Porcine Detection Kit sets a new benchmark in sensitivity and specificity. With a detection limit of 0.001 pg for meat, it is 100 times more sensitive than competing products. Additionally, its lyophilised format ensures stability at room temperature, making it more convenient and reducing reliance on cold storage logistics. These features provide laboratories with a reliable, efficient, and cost-effective solution for Halal food testing.
