SDIX has signed an agreement with Romer Labs for SDIX's genetically modified organisms (GMO) rapid testing products - Traitchek and Seedchek - for food quality control applications.
Under the terms of the agreement, Romer Labs will have exclusive global distribution rights outside of Brazil to distribute SDIX's Traitchek and Seedchek GMO test strip products.
Traitchek and Seedchek are said to be easy to use, accurate and affordable GMO detection systems for grain and seed.
Traitchek tests enable rapid testing of grains for GMO at elevators and terminals.
Visual results can be seen in three to five minutes, thereby expediting grain processing.
Seedchek tests and Elisa plates are used to rapidly test seed lots for quality control requirements and leaf tissue in the field.
Visual results for Seedchek can be seen in three to five minutes.
Transgenic seed varieties are marketed alongside conventional seed varieties.
As a result, testing methods to determine the presence or absence of genetic traits is critical.
SDIX offers both test strip and microwell Elisa plate test formats to meet the grain and seed testing demands for breeders, as well as grain, seed, and feed producers and consumers.
