FemINDICAtor® Cannabis Sex Detection Assay v2 is a qPCR detection kit for the purpose of identifying the presence of the Y chromosome in cannabis and/or hemp plants. FemINDICAtor® can be run with the same qPCR instrument as the PathoSEEK® Microbial Detection and Plant Pathogen Detection Kits.
FemINDICAtor® Cannabis Sex Detection Assay v2 improves on our previous assay by targeting an additional region of the Y chromosome with an additional primer probe set. This addition accounts for unique variations found through extensive sequencing of a variety of male plants. The original primer probe set remains unchanged. The original and new primer probe sets are both detected in the FAM channel.
