Detection and Cross Contamination Evaluation of Roundup Ready Soy via Mechanical Shear Homogenization using the GLH-850

Rotor stator homogenizers such as the GLH 850 are capable of disrupting a variety of sample matrices for DNA extraction with subsequent PCR analysis. This application note evaluates the GLH-850’s capability of processing a variety of soy sample matrices soy samples for the extraction of genomic DNA for the identification of Roundup Ready^® soy. In conjunction, the potential for sample cross contamination from the use of a standard stainless steel generator probes was evaluated.
