I am running via ELISA method Dioxins/furans analysis for food matrixes and i would like to ask if there is any PCR technique for quantitative determination.

Thank you in advance,

Patrick Mccabe

The answer is no, there is no way that PCR can be used to detect dioxins and furans in food, or anything.

Dioxins can induce DNA mutations and PCR can certainly be used to detect these but there is no direct detection of dioxins/furans by PCR.

For this you will need GC-HRMS or GC-MS/MS.
