Test Parameters & Specifications
Sample Stability
- Contaminated or improperly labeled samples
- Insufficient sample quantity
- Samples stored in non-compliant conditions
- Processed soy products with additives that inhibit DNA extraction
Understanding Your Results
Negative
No genetically modified DNA detected. The soybean sample is likely non-GMO, but consider retesting if symptoms persist or for verification.
Positive
Genetically modified DNA detected. The sample contains GMO soybeans. Consult a healthcare provider if experiencing health issues and review food sources.
Consult a doctor if you experience persistent symptoms like allergic reactions, stomach problems, or other health issues after consuming soy products, especially if GMO testing is positive or inconclusive.
Limitations
- ⚠Test may not detect all GMO traits, only those targeted by specific primers
- ⚠Results are qualitative (detected/not detected) and not quantitative
- ⚠Limited to soybean samples; other crops require separate tests
- ⚠False negatives possible if GMO content is below detection limit
Risks & Considerations
- ●No physical risks associated with the test as it involves sample analysis only
- ●Potential for false positives or negatives due to technical limitations
- ●Emotional stress if results indicate GMO presence and health concerns
Interfering Factors
- ●Sample contamination with non-target DNA
- ●Improper storage leading to DNA degradation
- ●Use of processed soy products with low DNA yield
- ●Presence of inhibitors in the sample affecting PCR efficiency
