Sensitivity of GM padlock probes.

	Bt176	MON1445	RRS	GM mix
CaMV P35S	0.1%	0.5%	0.1%	1.0%
FMV P35S	n.p.	5.0%	n.p.	1.7%
bar	0.1% (0.5*)	n.p.	n.p.	1.7%
Bt176 event	0.5%	n.p.	n.p.	2.5%
RRS event	n.p.	n.p.	5.0%	2.5%

Bt176, MON1445 and RRS performed as simplex, GM mix performed as multiplex.

*level of sensitivity when all 'negative' samples were included in the analysis.

n.p.: not present.

1.0% GM mix consists of 20% maize, soya and cotton (5% GMO each) and 40% canola.

1.7% GM mix consists of 33% maize, soya and cotton (5% GMO each).

2.5% GM mix consists of 50% maize and soya (5% GMO each).
