Rapid ELISA for Detection of Sulfonamide Residues.

The MaxSignal^® Sulfonamide ELISA Test Kit is a competitive ELISA for the quantitative analysis of sulfonamide in a variety of sample types.

Sulfonamides are widely used as feed additives, mainly for fattening of calves and pigs. Sulfonamides are also used in veterinary medicine for the treatment of intestinal infections, mastitis, and other diseases. Sulfonamide residues may therefore occur in food of animal origin such as fish and shrimp. According to the US FDA and EU-Law, the maximum residue limit for all substances of the sulfonamide-group are 100 ppb in muscle, fat, liver, and kidney, and 100 ppb in milk. Although physical-chemical methods such as high pressure liquid chromatography are widely used for sulfonamide detection, their application for routine screening of numerous samples, however, is limited by cost and instrumentation. Alternatively, enzyme immunoassays (ELISA) show considerable advantages over conventional methods. The MaxSignal Sulfonamide ELISA Test Kit enables the detection of sulfonamide below the maximum residue limit in various sample types.

This kit is manufactured to the international quality standard ISO 9001.
