Navigating trait test requests, particularly for corn and soybean, can be intricate. Recently, we’ve noticed an increase in submissions lacking clarity regarding the required testing, which poses challenges for timely processing.
In instances where submissions indicate “All Conventional Tests,” we determine the necessary tests based on the seed type. This typically includes ELISA testing and Herbicide Bioassay testing. ELISA tests range from $80 to $100 each, while bioassay tests are priced at $40 each. To prevent unnecessary expenses, we urge you to provide more specific information on your sample bags and submission forms.
To facilitate smoother request processes, our Trait lab has curated a comprehensive Trait Test Guide. This resource is designed to simplify the test request process. You can access the guide through the provided link.
Clear and precise information ensures accurate testing and helps us serve you better. Thank you for your cooperation in improving the efficiency of our trait testing procedures.
