Description / Abstract:
This part of ISO/TS 15216 describes a method for quantification
of levels of HAV and NoV genogroup I (GI) and II (GII) RNA, from
test samples of foodstuffs or food surfaces. Following liberation
of viruses from the test sample, viral RNA is then extracted by
lysis with guanidine thiocyanate and adsorption on silica. Target
sequences within the viral RNA are amplified and detected by
real-time RT-PCR.
This approach is also relevant for detection of the target
viruses on fomites, or of other human viruses in foodstuffs, on
food surfaces or on fomites following appropriate validation and
using target-specific primer and probe sets.
