SureFood® GMO QUANT MON863 Corn

Intended use:

SureFood® GMO QUANT MON863 Corn is a real-time PCR for the detection of the relative MON863 corn DNA amount to the total corn DNA content. Therefore, the kit contains two PCR systems, one for detection of a MON863 corn-specific gene (YieldGard™ Rootworm™ corn, OECD unique identifier MON-ØØ863-5) and one for the detection of a corn gene (reference gene).   The specific detection is according to the validated method of the European Commission.

Specifications:

• Test format: 2 x 50 reactions


• Sample preparation: For DNA-preparation of raw material the use of SureFood® PREP Basic (Art. No. S1052), SureFast® Mag PREP Food (Art. No. F1060) and for highly processed food and feed the use of SureFood® PREP Advanced (Art. No. S1053) is recommended. SureFood® PREP Add On (Art. No. S1055) is intended to be used for the extraction of DNA from raw materials as well as processed food and feed with sample weight of 2 g. It is used in conjunction with the SureFood® PREP Basic.


• LOD (Detection limit): The SureFood® GMO QUANT MON863 Corn specific PCR has a limit of detection of < 5 DNA-copies. This is equivalent to approx. 0.01 % for unprocessed corn grain.


• LOQ (Limit of quantification): The limit of quantitation depends on the concentration of the sample DNA used in the analysis. For example, if 50,000 target-sequence copies of the reference gene are present, the relative quantitation limit for MON863 corn DNA is 0.1 %.
