Rice QA/QC (Quality Assurance and Quality Control) testing plays a crucial role in ensuring the integrity, purity, and quality of rice crops. These tests involve a range of analyses and assessments that are performed at various stages of rice production, from breeding and seed selection to processing and distribution. DNA molecular markers, particularly Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs), have emerged as a reliable and efficient system for seed QA/QC.
Our Rice QA/QC Sequencing Panel designed for Next-Generation Sequencing Platforms, can accurately determine the genetic composition of rice varieties, ensure seed purity, and maintain quality control throughout the production process. Our panel's markers, designed with careful consideration of polymorphism, MAF, and performance, offer cost-effective solutions with high resolution and certainty, delivering reliable and informative results.
We also offer Rice SNP Panel comprising 797 SNPs for researchers and breeders to make informed decisions, optimize hybrid development, and contribute to improving rice varieties.
Designed specifically for the rice industry, our Rice QA/QC Panel offers a comprehensive and efficient solution for ensuring the quality, purity, and characterization of rice varieties.

The Rice QA/QC Sequencing Panel is highly valuable for identifying and distinguishing different rice varieties. By genotyping a representative sample of individuals using the panel's SNPs, a unique DNA fingerprint can be obtained for each variety. This allows for accurate determination of whether an individual belongs to a specific rice variety. The panel's markers are carefully selected to be polymorphic, have high minor allele frequency (MAF), and demonstrate robust performance, ensuring reliable and precise varietal identification.
Genetic Purity Testing is an essential application derived from Varietal Identification. It assesses the genetic characteristics of a group of individuals, such as a line, seed lot, or seed bag, using the tools provided by Varietal Identification. The Rice QA/QC Sequencing Panel can be used to determine the proportion of individuals within a grouping that possess the desired genetic makeup. This is achieved by comparing the pattern of alleles, expressed as a DNA fingerprint, of each tested individual against the expected pattern. Genetic Purity is documented as a percentage, indicating the proportion of individuals that meet the intended genetic composition. This testing method serves as a quality control measure for seed producers and growers, helping to identify out crosses, seed mixes, self-pollinated individuals, and seed swaps. Regulators also utilize Genetic Purity testing to ensure compliance with quality standards and regulations.
