Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)

ALS Malaysia has been providing testing services of PCR tests as follows:

1. Qualitative GMO testing is now available in a more convenient and affectable manner. Our testing method is sensitive and reliable to an operational limit of 0.1%.

2. For Species Identification, species-species DNA sequences of animals and fungi can be tested. The molecular approach is ultilised to identify species that include common edible animals, pork, cow, fish etc.

3. Food Authenticity analysis to guarantee the authenticity of the food products and protect brand name in line with current legislation.

4. Custom PCR screening projects.

Halal Testing

We offer a wide array of analytical testing services to support industrial hygiene testing services and to assist our clients in promoting human health.

Halal (Arabic: "permissible") refers to what is permissible or lawful in traditional Islamic law and it is frequently applied to permissible food and drinks. It is also associated with being wholesome, just and all things that are pure and good (Thoyyib)

To make food and products "Halal" or permissible, ALS Malaysia provides a range of tests to assist in Halal verification. Our SAMM accredited methods will provide assurance for food consumption in line with "Halal" and "Thoyyib".
