All-in-One qPCR Kit for Precise Identification of Salvia hispanica in Food and Feed Products – 50 Reactions
Description
Salvia hispanica-Ingredient Probe qPCR Kit is designed for the quantitative detection of its specific DNA in a real-time PCR test using hydrolysis probes. In the amplification process, Taq DNA polymerase amplifies the DNA sample via quantitative PCR using a primer-probe set that targets its specific DNA region. At each cycle of the PCR, the 5' nuclease activity of Taq DNA polymerase degrades the bound probes, releasing the quenched specific FAM signal. The increase in FAM fluorescence measures the target gene-specific DNA amplifications. At a point where the fluorescence signal is confidently detected over the background signal, a Ct value can be determined for the FAM signal. This Ct parameter can be used to evaluate relative target abundance among samples.

Application Areas
- Food ingredient and finished-product authenticity testing: sensitive, quantitative detection of Salvia hispanica (chia) DNA in raw materials, processed foods, bakery products and beverages to verify label claims, detect adulteration and support allergen/compliance assessment.
- Nutraceuticals and dietary supplement quality control: quantification of chia-derived ingredients in capsules, powders and functional foods for batch consistency, dosage verification and contamination screening.
- Seed and agricultural quality control plus terrestrial eDNA monitoring: seed lot identification and purity testing for breeding and supply-chain management, and environmental/terrestrial eDNA surveillance in soil, freshwater and sediment samples to monitor distribution or potential escape/invasive spread of S. hispanica.
