Fast and User-Friendly Detection of Flatfish Species ( and ) via Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP).

The detection of a Cytochrome gene () for species differentiation in fish is intensively used. A fast alternative to expensive and time-consuming DNA barcoding is loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) in combination with efficient readout systems. For this reason, we developed LAMP assays for rapid species detection of and , two economically important flatfish species in Europe that are prone to mislabeling.
