BT Cry 1 Ab/Ac GMO Rapid Detection Kit

The BT Cry 1 Ab/Ac GMO Rapid Detection Kit is designed for detection of the Cry1Ab/Ac BT endotoxins in genetically modified organisms.

With a limit of detection of 2ng/mL (or 1 in 200 kernels), our detection kit is suitable for testing both leaf tissue and seeds of corn, cotton, and other crops. It is available in both a strip and cassette form.

BT Cry1 is a gene found in Bacillus thuringiensis, a gram-positive bacterium that produces a toxin that can be utilized as a pesticide. The gene BT Cry1 encodes the protein that is toxic to insects. When expressed and produced in crops such as corn, it acts as a built-in insecticide for the plants. Due to the protein’s toxic nature, there are concerns that this gene will have a negative impact on the consumer’s health.
