QUICKSTIXTM FOR ROUNDUP® READY BULK GRAIN

Intended Use

This EnviroLogix QuickStix™ Kit For Roundup Ready® Bulk Grain Is Designed To Extract And Detect The Presence Of CP4 EPSPS Protein At The Levels Typically Expressed In Roundup Ready Bulk Grain.  The Sensitivity Of These QuickStix Strips Is 0.1% Roundup Ready Soybean (I.E. One Roundup Ready Soybean In 1000 Conventional Soybeans) And 0.5% Event 603 Corn (I.E. One Event 603 Roundup Ready Corn Kernel In 200 Conventional Corn Kernels).  This Kit Will Not Detect GA21 Roundup Ready Corn.

General Use  

In order to detect the CP4 EPSPS protein expressed by Roundup Ready bulk grain, the sample must first be extracted to solubilize the protein.  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.
