Chloramphenicol ELISAKit Background Information:
Due to its outstanding antibacterial properties, chloramphenicol is an often used antibiotic in the production of milk, meat and eggs. In humans it leads to haematotoxic side effects like the chloramphenicol induced aplastic anemia. This has caused low limits in Germany, e.g. 1ug/kg for milk, meat and eggs. Until now, the chloramphenicol concentration was determined by radioimmunoassay or by gas chromatography. However, compared with conventional methods, enzyme immunoassays show some essential advantages. There is no need to work with radioactive material; the required assay time on this Chloramphenicol Food ELISA Test Kit is shorter and the sensitivity is better than with chromatographic methods. Forty samples on this Food ELISA test kit can be assayed in duplicate within 60 minutes.




Chloramphenicol Food ELISA Test Principle:
The Chloramphenicol Food ELISA Kit is a quantitative Chloramphenicol food test based on the principle of the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. An antibody binding protein is coated on the surface of a microtiter plate. Chloramphenicol containing samples or standards and an antibody directed against chloramphenicol are given into the wells of the microtiter plate. The chloramphenicol contained in samples or standards will bind to the antibody which reacts with the binding protein coated onto the microtiter plate
