USDA GIPSA verifies EnviroLogix’ QuickStix kit for Herculex RW

.

Portland, Maine
September 25, 2007

EnviroLogix Inc. announces that its QuickStix Kit for Herculex RW has received a Certificate of Performance from USDA’s Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration (GIPSA). The kit detects the presence of Cry34 protein in corn at a threshold of 1 genetically modified seed in a pool of 200 non-transgenic seeds.

EnviroLogix’ QuickStix test kits provide easily understood “yes/no” results within 2-5 minutes for testing grain at the elevator or wherever convenience and speed are critical.

And because QuickStix Strips for Herculex RW are optimized to work with the Common Extraction protocol, they can be incorporated into QuickCombs™ with any combination of our other seven GMO bulk grain strips.

Simply extract the corn sample with tap water, drop in the QuickStix or QuickComb, and read the result. The innovations of Common Extraction and QuickComb assemblies have saved preparation and testing time for hundreds of facilities that need to run multiple tests on a sample, streamlining protocols and increasing throughput.

An added benefit of the QuickStix Strips for Herculex RW is their ability to be analyzed by the QuickStix Reader™. Another EnviroLogix innovation, the QuickStix Reader is programmed to read and interpret the intensity of the test line and indicate the level or concentration in the sample. Rapid semi-quantitative results provide a reliable basis for making accept/reject decisions when accuracy, speed, and practicality collide. And its ability to communicate readily with common software makes recording and tracking data simple.

Along with meeting high standards for production and performance quality, EnviroLogix products are well supported with in-field personnel and excellent technical service. Our Technical Services Department is always pleased to work with customers to tailor a sampling plan that will fit their specific needs.

The QuickStix Kit for Herculex RW (Cat. No. AS 054 BG) contains strips and disposables for 100 tests. Detailed information on the EnviroLogix kit is available at www.envirologix.com (click on Products, GMO Test Kits).
