Molecular biomarker analysis - DNA barcoding of crustaceans and products derived from crustaceans using defined mitochondrial 16S rRNA and cytochrome c oxidase I gene segments (ISO/DIS 22344:2026)

This document specifies a method for the taxonomic identification of single crustaceans to the genus or species level using DNA barcoding. It allows the identification of a large number of commercially important crustacean species. This method was validated on raw crustaceans. Laboratory experience indicates additional applicability to processed crustacean products, e.g. cold smoked, hot smoked, salted, frozen, cooked, fried and deep-fried samples. The described method is usually unsuitable for the analysis of highly processed foods, e.g. tins of crustaceans, with highly degraded DNA where the fragment lengths are not sufficient for amplification of the targets. Furthermore, it is not applicable for complex seafood products containing mixtures of two or more crustacean species. The identification of crustacean species is carried out by PCR amplification of either a shorter or longer segment of the mitochondrial 16S rRNA gene, or a segment of the cytochrome c oxidase I gene (cox1, syn. COI) or any combination of the three markers, followed by sequencing of the PCR products and subsequent sequence comparison with entries in databases.

NFC Forum Specifications - Part 2: NFC Data Exchange Format

The NFC Data Exchange Format (NDEF) specification defines a message encapsulation format to exchange information between two NFC Forum Devices. NDEF is a lightweight, binary message format that can be used to encapsulate one or more application-defined payloads of arbitrary type and size into a single message construct. Each payload is described by a type, a length, and an optional identifier. Type identifiers can be URIs, MIME media types, or NFC-specific types. This latter format permits compact identification of well known types commonly used in NFC Forum applications, or self-allocation of a name space for organizations that wish to use it for their own NFC-specific purposes. The NDEF Payload Length is an unsigned integer that indicates the number of octets in the payload. A compact, NDEF short-record layout is provided for very small payloads. The optional NDEF Payload Identifier enables association of multiple payloads and crossreferencing between them. NDEF Payloads can include nested NDEF Messages or chains of linked chunks of length unknown at the time the data is generated. NDEF is strictly a message format, which provides no concept of a connection or of a logical circuit, nor does it address head-of-line problems.
