ELISA Test Plate with three Positive and three Negative Controls

Methods

Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) utilizes an antibody that has been developed for the specific Corn Borer (CB) or Corn Rootworm (RW) transgenic protein to detect its presence in the seed or coleoptile. See this resource for more information: Corn Traits ELISA Testing

What is Reported

The number of seeds positive for the specified transgenic protein and the number of seeds tested. 90 seeds are the standard number of seeds tested per lot.

Value of Results

Most life science providers required licensees to test 90 individuals per lot size for the presence to assess sufficient purity for commercial sale.
