GMO-121
Product Name
PHY GMO Detection Kit
Product Overview
PHY GMO Detection Kit is designed for detection of the protein PHY in genetically modified organisms.
Description
With a limit of detection of 2 ng/mL (or 1 in 1000 kernels), our detection kit is suitable for testing both leaf tissue and seeds of corn, cotton, and other crops. It is available in both a strip and cassette form.
Scientific Background
Phytase is currently used as an additive in animal feed to breakdown phytic acid in corn, which holds 60% of the phosphorus in corn. Phytase increases phosphorus absorption in animals by 60%. Phosphorus is an essential element for the growth and development of all animals, and plays a key role in skeletal structures and vital metabolic pathways. Phytase, as an additive for animal feed, is mandatory in Europe, Southeast Asia, South Korea, Japan, and other regions for environmental purposes. Phytase transgenic corn, developed by and licensed from Chinese Academy of Agricultural Science (CAAS) after a 7 year study, will allow animal feed producers the ability to eliminate purchasing phytase and corn separately. It will eliminate the need for mixing the two ingredients together, saving time, machinery, and labor for the animal feed producers.
