TECHNOLOGY

FASTFISH-ID™ converts an standard, FDA-approved DNA sequence commonly used for species identification (COI DNA Barcode) into a species-specific digital signature.  Species-specific digital signatures are then automatically compared to a reference database of verified species and species variants signatures at the  FASTFISH-ID Answers™ website for immediate species identification.

​

The same set of reagents identifies any species of commercial fish.  FASTFISH-ID™ is currently validated for identification of 43 species represented in our reference database.  New species can be easily added to the reference database if specimens are available    

FASTFISH-ID™ authenticates commercial fish species according to US CPG Sec. 540.750 and Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) regulations.  FASTFISH-ID™ follows international iBOL and GENEBANK standards in accordance with the FDA-approved method for DNA authentication of commercial fish species.
