Division 4 Analysis of the laboratory sample

The control laboratory shall take from the homogenised laboratory sample four analytical samples of 240 grams. The four analytical samples have to be ground and further analysed separately.

The PCR method to be used is the construct-specific method ‘P35S:BAR’ that has been developed by Bayer CropScience and verified by the USDA and the JRC in its quality of Community reference laboratory for GM Food and Feed. In case of positive results, the presence of LL RICE 601 shall be confirmed by the event-specific method.

The lot shall be considered to be positive when one of the four analytical samples is positive.
