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 AgrisureT™ RW seed corn and leaves.
When testing Agrisure™ RW seed
corn or leaves, this mBt-Cry3A ImmunoStrip® effectively detects
the mBt-Cry3Aa protein from hybrid or inbred seed corn and
leaves. Once sample is prepared, test completion times are
usually between 3 to 5 minutes.
Agrisure™ RW is a modified
synthetic (mCry3Aa) gene from Bacillus thuringiensis for control
of corn rootworms.
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. |
