Promega Maxwell RSC PureFood GMO and Authentication Kit

The Promega Maxwell RSC PureFood GMO and Authentication Kit for food testing delivers automated high-quality sample prep for food testing labs. The device provides an easy, automated method for efficient purification of DNA for use in PCR-based testing for genetically modified organism (GMO) DNA sequences, and PCR-based food and ingredient authentication.

The kit can purify DNA from raw and processed food samples including corn, soybeans, canola, ground pork, ground beef, pork gelatine, breaded fish, tortillas, corn chips and rice cakes in under 2 h.

The instrument purifies nucleic acid using novel paramagnetic particles and allows optimal capture, wash and elution of the target material from 1 to 16 samples with minimal manual intervention. Because there are no tubes or pipette tips involved, there are no clogs, drips, splashing or aerosols, greatly reducing contamination risk. The instrument is supplied with preprogrammed purification methods and is designed for use with the predispensed reagent cartridges, maximising simplicity and convenience.
