Plant Species Detection

Today, one of the biggest problems in the food industry is adulteration and the deterioration of the originality of food products. It is very difficult to detect the additives used in processed products without using advanced analysis methods.

Today, species identification is performed using anatomical separation of hair tissues, physical separation of adipose tissue, DNA hybridization, ELISA and PCR methods. However, many difficulties were encountered in the identification of species by immunological, morphological and electrophoretic methods, the species could not be determined or cases were encountered incorrectly. The fact that it can detect mixtures in processed and unprocessed products with an accuracy of up to 0.1% has made the Real-Time PCR method the most reliable method in this field. The PCR method, which is more sensitive, specific and fast, is accepted as the detection method of today and the future.

Plant Species Detection Kits

Bosphore Plant Detection Kit v2 detects plant actin (ACT) gene with Cy5 filter in different samples (soy, corn/maize, cotton, canola, potato etc.) obtained from various matrices (product groups) such as all type of processed and non-processed food, feed, seed samples. A region within actin gene is amplified and fluorescence detection is accomplished using the Cy5 filter. The absolute LOD value of the kit is 5 copies.

An internal control has been integrated into the kit in order to check PCR inhibition. The amplification data of the internal control is detected with the HEX filter. The internal control is added in PCR step.

Bosphore Plant Detection Kit v3 detects plant actin (ACT) gene with Cy5 filter in different samples (soy, corn/maize, cotton, canola, potato etc.) obtained from various matrices (product groups) such as all type of processed and non-processed food, feed, seed samples. A region within actin gene is amplified and fluorescence detection is accomplished using the Cy5 filter.

An internal control has been integrated into the kit in order to check PCR inhibition. The amplification data of the internal control is detected with the HEX filter. The internal control is added in PCR step.

Bosphore Soy Species Detection Kit v1 detects soy specific lectin gene in different samples obtained from various matrices (product groups) such as all type of processed and non-processed food, feed, seed samples. A region within soy specific lectin gene is amplified and fluorescence detection is accomplished using the FAM filter.

An internal control has been integrated into the kit in order to check PCR inhibition. The amplification data of the internal control is detected with the HEX filter. The internal control is added in PCR step.

Bosphore Corn/Maize Species Detection Kit v1 detects corn/maize species alcohol dehydrogenase 1 (adh1) gene in different samples obtained from various matrices (product groups) such as all type of processed and non-processed food, feed, seed samples.
