Eurofins (Paris:ERF):
Eurofins Abraxis, a developer, manufacturer and supplier of test
kits and systems for laboratory analyses, announces that its ELISA
assay (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) for the detection of
Glyphosate, Eurofins Abraxis Glyphosate ELISA Kit, has been
granted AOAC Research Institute Performance Tested Methods (PTM)
status (AOAC Cert. No. 072104) for use with whole grain durum
wheat, whole grain oats, oat groats, dried yellow peas, and dried
red lentils. The Eurofins Abraxis Glyphosate ELISA Kit is the first
rapid method to receive this certification status.
First introduced in the 1970’s, glyphosate is the most widely
applied herbicide for controlling grasses and broadleaf weeds in
both agricultural and non-crop environments. Its widespread
adoption coincided with the introduction of crops genetically
modified to tolerate glyphosate, allowing farmers to target weeds
while protecting their valuable crops. Recent consumer pressures
have resulted in an increase in commodity testing for glyphosate
throughout branded food manufacturing supply chains.
With limits for glyphosate in various crop commodities
established by country, the sensitivity of the Eurofins Abraxis
Glyphosate ELISA Kit allows the detection of glyphosate at
concentrations below current requirement levels.
