MOLECULAR GENETIC PURITY TEST

DNA-level precision to verify hybrid identity, genetic purity, and varietal authenticity.

What We Test For

Genetic precision you can trust by confirming hybrid seeds purity through advanced co-dominant DNA marker technology

The Molecular Genetic Purity Test is an advanced DNA-based analytical method used to assess the genetic purity and hybridity of seed samples at the molecular level. The test utilizes co-dominant DNA markers targeting specific genomic regions across different chromosomes of the crop. The analysis involves DNA extraction from seed or leaf samples, followed by PCR amplification and agarose gel electrophoresis. The resulting DNA banding patterns enable clear identification of the female and male parental alleles, confirming their presence or absence in individual hybrid seed samples and thereby providing reliable evidence of genetic purity and hybridity. Compared with conventional field Grow-Out Tests (GOT), molecular genetic purity testing provides a rapid, precise, reliable and laboratory-based assessment, significantly reducing the time and labour required for genetic purity evaluation. This approach supports efficient quality control and helps ensure the genetic identity, purity and authenticity of hybrid seed lots.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our analysts follow ISTA, IMSCS and NABL standard molecular genetic purity testing protocols across multiple crop categories.

How does the molecular genetic purity test work?

DNA is extracted from individual seed or plant samples, followed by PCR amplification using selected markers and analysis of the resulting DNA profiles.

Co-dominant markers can distinguish both parental alleles, enabling precise identification of hybrids and detection of off-types or unwanted genetic contamination.

It provides a rapid, objective and highly specific assessment of genetic purity, supporting hybrid authentication, quality control and seed production programs.

Sample size depends on the crop type. Our team will guide you on the exact quantity needed based on the seed lot you want tested.

Yes, we provide detailed molecular genetic purity test reports that can be used for domestic certification as well as export documentation requirements.

Our Expertise

Improve all products to make them safer, better and more accessible for environment.

Guaranteed Quality for Every Seed Lot, Every Time

Seed testing is not just a formality it ensures that the seed reaching farmers meets specification and certification standards (ISTA & IMSCS) and is safe to be released to the market.

Our strict Quality Control (QC) tools and molecular testing methods identify non-conforming seed lots in time preventing good product from being wasted while stopping substandard product from reaching farmers.
