A presentation by a Bayer Crop Science rep described the company's successful Multiplex PCR genetic detection

Incs () BHQplex CoPrimer technology, which is used in diagnostics tests utilizing DNA or RNA, was the star of a presentation from Bayer Crop Science at an agricultural presentation on Tuesday.

The presentation, titled "CoPrimer Assays for Multiplex PCR," was put on by a Bayer representative at the International Plant & Animal Genome XXVIII conference this weekin San Diego.

It described a study that involved developing genotyping assays which detect genetic sequences using the Utah-based companys CoPrimer technology. That detection process includes includes multiplex PCR (polymerase chain reaction), a system for detecting multiple genetic sequences all at once, rather than having to do a new test for each particular sequence.

"We are excited to announce this third-party validation, the importance of which cannot be overstated, and which further supports our confidence in the uniqueness and superior advantages of our patented CoPrimer platform technology, CEO Dwight Egan said in a statement. Bayers commitment to a world where more sustainable farming practices and more adaptive, resilient plants are part of the solution to making hunger a thing of the past aligns perfectly with our mission to improve the lives and quality of life in communities across the world.

Co-Diagnostics technology is being licensed by LGC Biosearch Technologies, a biotechnology company based in the UK.

"With partners like LGC, including their globe-spanning footprint in over 200 countries, and validation from such an important force in the world of agriculture as Bayer, we believe that Co-Diagnostics is better positioned than ever to leverage our technology platform and establishing the Company as a valuable player in the world of AgBio, Egan said.
