Quantabio Seed and Crop Testing Solutions
Molecular testing is a critical step in developing new crop technologies and verifying the genetic integrity of a plant. It is also the best method for identifying viruses and pathogens in seeds and plants in an effort to advance agricultural testing and research.
Unfortunately, plants are an especially challenging starting material due to the contaminating presence of PCR-suppressive compounds such as phenols, polysaccharides, and humic acid.
Our ToughMix reagents are formulated to withstand several types of PCR inhibition, which makes them ideal for applications in:
- New crop development
- Surveillance testing (GMO)
- Virus detection
