Testing is recommended for exports of flax products to the EU. Genetic ID offers a construct-specific method for detection of FP967 using Real-time PCR. The test specifically detects a transgenic construct that is present in GM Flax/Linseed FP967 (CDC Triffid), but is not present in unmodified flax or in any other commercialized GM event such as GM canola or GM corn. The method is fully validated and is included in the ISO 17025 scope of accreditation for Genetic ID laboratories in the United States and Europe. The test is now available for all flax/linseed products.
