Randox Drug Residue ELISA’s – Excellent choice!

29 Jun 2008

Product news

Randox supply a comprehensive range of diagnostic tests for the detection of drug abuse in food production, show and competition animals and in sport.

Drug abuse is becoming increasingly common, in terms of people being addicted as well as the abuse of drugs to enhance sporting performance. However, this alarming increase is not limited to human intake. The worlds of food production, show and competition animals are also being affected in today’s society.

The legitimate treatment of diseases with drugs such as antibiotics (in clinical doses) reduces mortality in livestock, improving meat production. However, many drugs used in meat production can enter the food chain once the animal is slaughtered. Since most meat is intended for human consumption, these drugs can potentially affect human health. Consumers need to be protected from the effects of drug residues. The most effective method of detecting drug residues in food and animals is by using the Randox drug residue ELISA kits.

The range offered by Randox is extremely comprehensive. This includes beta-agonists, boldenone, beta-lactams, Chloramphenicol, Clenbuterol, Corticosteroids, 19-Nortestosterone/Trenbolone, Quinolones, Ractopamine, Stanozolol, Stilbenes, Sulphadiazine, Suplhamethazine, Sulphaquinoxoline, Trenbolone and Zeranol, with the release of a Malachite Green ELISA later in the year. All kits offer excellent limits of detection, a wide range of sample matrices, small sample volume and outstanding cross reactivity. Choose Randox and make drug abuse detection easy.

ELISAEnzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA), also known as enzyme immunoassays (EIA), are used for the detection and quantification of proteins, peptides and antibodies in a sample. ELISA often comes in kit format, with pre-selected antibody pairs to detect specific proteins or biomarkers of diseases such as diabetes and obesity, or cardiovascular and neurological disorders. Detection is made possible with chemiluminescent, fluorescent or colorimetric substrates and detection instruments such as microplate / ELISA readers. Other kits available include: Enzyme-linked immunospot (ELISPOT) assays for the quantification of protein-producing cells and chemiluminescent immunoassays (CLIA) kits. Find the best ELISA kits and products in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.ImmunologyImmunological techniques measure and characterize immune responses. Immunology kits and analysis systems often use techniques such as ELISA, radioimmunoassay (RIA) and immunodiffusion assays, Immunohistochemistry, and flow cytometry. Immunologists use equipment such as flow Cytometers, plate readers, plate washers and fluorescent microscopes.Point-of-CarePoint-of-Care Testing (POCT) or Near Patient Testing (NPT) products are available for urine, blood and other clinical chemistry analyses. POCT includes: blood glucose testing, blood gas and electrolytes analysis, rapid coagulation testing (PT / INR), rapid cardiac markers diagnostics, drugs of abuse screening, urine strips testing, pregnancy testing, fecal occult blood analysis, food pathogens screening, hemoglobin diagnostics, infectious disease testing and cholesterol screening.
