Description

Tenders are invited to carry out a review of laboratory testing methods which should: 1. Build on previously published research and complement the work and learning of the FSA on CCPs. 2. Identify and evaluate potential analytical methods for the detection, identification and quantification of CCPs. - Consider the traceability of current and emerging CCPs, and differentiation from other proteins using analytical methods e.g. genomic or proteomic approaches - Consider emerging analytical methods and technologies - Consider the requirements for associated tools e.g. databases, reference materials 3. Identify knowledge gaps and discuss limitations and challenges relating to the analytical methods identified, including practicality and cost. 4. Offer recommendations on analytical methods to inform the evidence base.
