Newark, Delaware September 24, 2014 – Romer Labs, a leading
supplier of food safety diagnostics solutions today announced the introduction
of two new monitoring tools for the detection of eCry3.1Ab protein expressed by
Syngenta’s Agrisure Duracade insect-resistant corn also known as Event 5307.
This test was developed with support from Syngenta for growers and others who
will handle Agrisure Duracade grain. The easy, rapid detection of Agrisure
Duracade corn in the grain supply by U.S. corn exporters is important because
the grain is not yet approved for import in China and the European Union.
Romer Labs’ AgraStrip _TraitChek _eCry3.1Ab lateral flow tests
are an easy to use, accurate and affordable detection system. The TraitChek
system allows for the qualitative detection of one (1) Agrisure Duracade corn
kernel in 400 non-Agrisure Duracade kernels (0.25%) at the grain elevator with
results visualized in 3 to 5 minutes. This rapid, sensitive test strip format
provides the best sensitivity for the detection of Agrisure Duracade corn
currently available which expedites grain processing. Also available are the
AgraStrip SeedChek _eCry3.1Ab lateral flow and ELISA-based systems to rapidly
test seed lots for quality control requirements as well as leaf tissue samples
in the field or lab.
Romer Labs sells an extensive portfolio of GMO testing products in
lateral flow and ELISA formats. This includes bulk grain tests for Vip3A
(MIR162) corn and CSPB corn which are also unapproved traits in some markets .
