Agdia, Inc., a leading provider of easy-to-use test kits for
agricultural diagnostics, announces the commercialization of a
new lateral flow strip for testing Herculex® RW seed corn and
leaves.
When testing Herculex® RW seed corn or leaves, this Bt-Cry34Ab1
ImmunoStrip® effectively detects the Bt-Cry34Ab1 protein from
hybrid or inbred seed corn and leaves. Once sample is prepared,
test completion times are usually between 3 to 5 minutes.
Agdia’s new Bt-Cry34Ab1 ImmunoStrip® was validated and shows no
cross-reaction with proteins of commercially available events
including: Bt-Cry1Ab, Bt-Cry1F, Bt-Cry3Bb1, Bt-Cry9C, EPSPS
(Roundup Ready®), or PAT (Liberty Link®).
This new lateral flow test compliments Agdia’s line-up of
validated, easy-to-use ImmunoStrips® for identifying transgenic
traits.
Agdia celebrates 25 years of providing diagnostic solutions
to agriculture. Agdia offers not only diagnostics test kits, but
also a plant pathogen testing services program. For more
