HiMedia’s Hi-PCR® GMO (Genetically Modified Organism) Semi-Q PCR Kit is designed for detection of specific sequences of 35S gene (118 bp) and NOS terminator gene (118 bp) from various GMO food sources. Gel electrophoresis is then used to analyze the amplification of desired gene region for target pathogen based on separation of DNA fragments according to their size. This kit also contains internal control and Positive control
GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms) are those organisms that have been modified by the application of recombinant DNA technology or genetic engineering, a technique used for altering a living organism’s genetic material. With the rapid advances in biotechnology, a number of genetically modified (GM) crop or transgenic crops carrying novel traits have been developed and released for commercial agriculture production.The kit is designed for qualitative detection of GMO in food, feed and environmental samples. HiMedia's Hi-PCR® GMO (Genetically Modified Organism) Semi-Q PCR Kit is a qualitative conventional PCR kit which contains primers specific for the amplification of 35S and NOS terminator from GMO samples. The amplified target is detected by using agarose gel electrophoresis.
