GMO

A rapid increase in the growth of genetically modified organisms (GMO) as well as dependence on food stuffs including these materials have occurred in recent years. One particular matter of concern to consumers has been the proper labeling of food products that have been produced using GM technology.

PowerChek™  GMO Kit series provide a range oftesting options for the qualitative detection of Genetically Modified (GM) ingredients in food and feed, based on Real-time PCR and conventional PCR technologies.

PowerChek™ GMO Screening Real-time PCR Kit series provide a simple and rapid molecular method for the screening detection of the 35S-promoter, NOS-terminator or FMV sequences in DNA preparations from various food, feed and raw materials. These genes are the most commonly used sequences of genetic modified plants. Most of the presently available and approved GMOs are positive for either the 35S-promoter, the NOS-terminator and the FMV-promoter or several of them together.
