  Properties:
GMO content 986 - 1000 g/kg

Remarks:
ERM-BF437b is one of five DAS-81419-2 soya powder certified reference materials (CRMs) containing different mass fractions of this genetically modified soya. ERM-BF437b has been produced from whole seeds of genetically modified DAS-81419-2 soya supplied by Dow AgroSciences (DAS, Oxon, UK). According to the information provided by DAS the seed materials used to process ERM-BF437 are homozygous, through several generations of self-fertilization. In accordance with Commission Regulation (EC) No 65/2004, the DAS-81419-2 soya event was assigned the unique identifier DAS-81419-2. The five CRMs (ERM-BF437a, ERM-BF437b, ERM-BF437c, ERM-BF437d and ERM-BF437e) were prepared and certified under the responsibility of the Institute for Reference Materials and Measurements of the European Commissions Joint Research Centre (EC-JRC-IRMM). The CRM is supplied in amber glass bottles containing at least 1 g soya powder packed under argon atmosphere. Bottles should be stored dry and in the dark at maximum 4°C *** For more information see https://crm.jrc.ec.europa.eu/p/ERM-BF437b *** Additional keywords: DAS-81419-2 soya, GMO event

Intended Use:
is intended to be used for calibration or quality control of methods for the identification and quantification of genetically modified DAS-81419-2 soya in food and feed.
