The QuickScan System is approved for testing commodities destined for human consumption and animal feed.
The QuickScan System is a flexible detection system because it can quantify various strip configurations. Depending on need, it can read up to 6 individual strips simultaneously or 9 strips built into a tight comb. Results are obtained in seconds regardless of the number of strips being read. Specific sample information for each test can be inputted into the software for sample traceability purposes. The results can be exported via Excel for trend analysis or shared using a PDF report for identity preservation purposes. The data organized by the QuickScan System helps answer business questions such as:
- What is the quality of the grain I am delivering or receiving?
- What suppliers consistently deliver quality grain? Are any suppliers trending toward lower quality? What suppliers should have their contracts renewed?
- The non-GMO Identity Preserved grain being processed had a contamination issue, what did the GMO testing results for the inbound grain look like? What level of contamination is acceptable to produce a premium product? Was the processing equipment sufficiently flushed given the input grain quality?
Users of the QuickScan System for non-GMO verification cite the system’s speed, simplicity, and real time results as distinct advantages over traditional PCR analysis.
