September 15 Issue: 3M Food Safety and IntegenX

In the September 15, 2017, issue of IBO (3M Food Safety Invests in Allergen Testing), the technology that 3M Food Safety uses for nucleic amplification was incorrectly identified. The technology is based on LAMP (Loop-Mediated isothermal Amplification), not PCR.

In the same issue (Rapid DNA Testing: New Law, New Users), a quote from Robert Schueren, president and CEO of IntegenX, should have read, “We have thousands of samples in CODIS,” instead of “We have hundreds of thousands of samples in CODIS.” IBO regrets the errors.
