New research published in BioMed Central's open access journal BMC Biotechnology shows that products from genetically modified crops can be identified at low concentration, using bioluminescent real time reporter (BART) technology and loop mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP).
The combination of these techniques was able to recognise 0.1% GM contamination of maize, far below the current EU limit of 0.9%.
The report is titled “GMO detection using a bioluminescent real time reporter (BART) of loop mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) suitable for field use” and can be accessed at http://www.biomedcentral.com/1472-6750/12/15/abstract
