Researchers at Laval University (Canada) have found a new way to simplify the discovery of genetic abnormalities, identify bacteria or viruses, and even discover gene mutations in food. .

This new DNA test will soon be launched. Many biotech firms have expressed interest in this new discovery.

This new method is called the Fluorescence Chain Reaction ( Fluorescence Chain Reaction ).

When the DNA traces an abnormality, it emits fluorescent light. If present in large quantities, this light can be seen with the naked eye. If too little, then measurements must be made using a tool.

The new test relies on a polymer, a compound made up of a combination of single molecules with smaller masses.

Compared to the old method, this test is more certain and gives results after 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, current DNA tests rely on enzymes, a sensitive biological material that requires careful manipulation.
