Produktbeschreibung

A comprehensive how-to guide on using immunoassay technology with genetically modified crops With the dramatic rise in the adoption of genetically engineered (GE) or genetically modified (GM) crops in countries around the world, scientists and professionals in government, academia, and agriculture are increasingly required to know how to use immunochemistry technology to detect and monitor GM plants and related products. Immunoassays in Agricultural Biotechnology provides for the first time a comprehensive, easy-to-use technical guide on the application of immunoassay methods for the analysis of GM crops and related areas. Geared to readers with varying degrees of technical skill and experience in the field, this handy book explains topics from the ground up. It also includes methods and protocols, essential reference materials, and much more. Contributed chapters by international experts cover a range of topics, from current technologies to food regulation, including: * All aspects of assay development, including formats, kit development, manufacturing, and quality control * Immunoassay method validation techniques * Applications in GM crop research, product development, and commercialization * Immunoassay automation and high throughput in plant sample analysis * The latest applications of immunoassays in seed, grain, and food processing * Environmental applications and soil monitoring * Applications in animal vaccine development and biopharmaceutical research * Regulatory issues, including trade barriers and the negative aspects of GM technology
