Re: [DIYbio] Re: Were the DIY CRISPR kits contaminated?

As soon as chain of custody of a given material is interrupted (material is open, seal is broken) how can a company be blamed for the state of it?

Here Nathan's analogy fits, that's the common practice in the whole food industry (in EU at least).

The "indignation" of the authority seems out of place and procedures applied non conforming to standard procedures in matter of sampling. Again, if you want to make sure that goods are free of contamination you should check an "untouched" lot before this reaches the customer.

On the other hand hinting to "EU biohackers" is IMHO not the correct way to frame this and a generalization. EU is not USA, there are many different countries here, the fact happened in Germany, that's a whole different story if compared to Denmark, Netherlands, Italy or whatever.
