The test takes between five and ten minutes to run and provides semi-quantitative data on GM presence at specific threshold levels
A simple test system for the detection of specific genetic modifications in a variety of crop and grain types is the latest addition to the SDI Europe range of food and agricultural test systems.
TraitChek is a simple yet highly effective system which reacts specifically with the proteins produced by genetic modifications and is recognised as the most cost-effective test available for monitoring the presence of GMOs.
The TraitChek test, which is available for all the major genetic modifications currently in commercial production, is based upon proven and robust technology specifically developed for use in the field or in basic laboratory environments.
The test takes between five and ten minutes to run and provides semi-quantitative data on GM presence at specific threshold levels.
Ease-of-use and low cost means the test is ideally suited for monitoring the integrity of identity preservation systems.
These kits meet all the sensitivity requirements of the European market, they are USDA certified for traits in maize and soy and their performance has been rigorously validated by food safety agencies in the European Union, Japan and the USA.
