The EnviroLogix QuickStixTM Kit For Cry1Ab/Ac Leaf And Seed
Is Designed To Extract And Detect The Presence Of The
Cry1Ab And Cry1Ac Bt Endotoxins At The Levels Typically
Expressed In Genetically Modified Corn And Cotton Plant
Tissue.

General
Use
|
|
Corn
and cotton crops that have been genetically modified
with a Bt gene express Bt endotoxins in their tissue.
To detect these Cry1Ab and Cry1Ac proteins with the
EnviroLogix Cry1Ab/Ac QuickStix Strip, tissue samples
must be extracted and the endotoxins solubilized in
the Extraction Buffer provided. Each QuickStix Strip
has an absorbent pad at each end. The protective tape
with the arrow indicates the end of the strip to insert
into the extraction tube. The sample will travel up
the membrane strip and be absorbed into the larger pad
at the top of the strip. The portion of the strip between
the protective tape and the absorbent pad at the top
of the strip is used to view the reactions as described
under “Interpreting the Results.”
The EnviroLogix Cry1Ab/Cry1Ac QuickStix Kit can be used
in the following testing applications:
- Quality Assurance during transgenic seed production.
- Large scale affordable screening of plants to assess
expression of gene and presence of desired attribute.
- Checking grain for acceptance at elevators and
processing plants.
- Remote testing at international, export or import
locations.
