Chloramphenicol (CAP) is a broad spectrum antibiotic which is frequently employed in animal production for its excellent antibacterial and pharmacokinetic properties. However, in humans it leads to hematotoxic side effects. It can cause aplastic anaemia and agranulocytopenia, thus it has been banned or restrictively used in EU and US. This kit is a new product based on ELISA, which is fast (only 50min in one operation), easy, accurate and sensitive compared with common instrumental analysis, and so it can considerably minimize operation error and work intensity.
This kit can be used in quantitative and qualitative analysis of CAP residue in animal tissue (muscle, liver, fish, shrimp), cooked meat, honey, royal jelly and egg.
