AN ASSAY FOR DETECTING NUCLEOTIDE SEQUENCES IN GENETICALLY MODIFIED CROPS AND PLANTS USING OPTICAL THIN-FILM BIOSENSOR CHIPS

摘要

A process for detecting at least one DNA sequence using an optical thin-film biosensor chip includes the steps of placing a sample to be tested in contact with at least one capture probe attached to an optical thin-film biosensor chip; incubating the sample in the presence of an enzyme and a substrate; identifying a change in the color of the sample; and detecting the sample comprises at least one DNA sequence.
