General Use

 

Corn crops that have been genetically modified with Cry9C gene express a specific type of Bt protein in their tissues.  To detect the Cry9C protein with the EnviroLogix QuickStix™ Cry9C Kit, grain samples must be extracted and the Cry9C protein solubilized in water.  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 reaction vial.  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” in the product insert.  Please avoid bending the strips.
