Food safety test kit MaxSignal®

for furazolidonefor foodELISA

ELISA for the Screening of Food for Nitrofuran Residues. The MaxSignal® Nitrofuran group of products provide competitive ELISA kits for the quantitative analysis of each nitrofuran in a variety of sample types. Nitrofurans are antibiotics frequently used in animal production due to their highly efficient antibacterial properties. These drugs are also used as growth promoters during the production of shrimp, poultry, pigs, and others. However, the parent compounds and their metabolites have been shown to have carcinogenic and mutagenic characteristics which led to the banning of nitrofurans for the treatment of animals used for food production. Overview Resources, Events & More Sensitive ELISA for the Detection of AOZ in Food Samples. The MaxSignal® Furazolidone (AOZ) ELISA Kit provides a competitive enzyme immunoassay for the quantitative analysis of furazolidone in a variety of sample types. It is based on a competitive colorimetric ELISA assay. AOZ antibody has been coated in the plate wells. During the analysis, sample is added along with the AOZ-horseradish peroxidase (AOZ-HRP) conjugate. If the AOZ residue is present in the sample, it will compete for the AOZ antibody, thereby preventing the AOZ-HRP from binding to the antibody attached to the well. The resulting color intensity, after addition of the HRP substrate (TMB), has an inverse relationship with the AOZ residue concentration in the sample. This kit is manufactured to the international quality standard ISO 9001. Detection Limit: Offers rapid and cost-effective extraction methods for various samples Offers a single extraction protocol to for the analysis of AHD, SEM, AMOZ and AOZ High sensitivity
