Commercially Available ELISA Kits for Antibiotic Residues

4 Commercially Available ELISA Kits for Antibiotic Residues 

Various ELISA kits are commercially available for the detection of antibiotics in foods of animal origin. There at least four kits on the market for the detection of chloramphenicol (which is banned for use in food-producing species in the EU and many other countries) in tissue, honey, milk, and aquaculture products and five kits 

Another important consideration when using the ELISA (and other immunoassay formats) is the cross-reactivity of the method. Cross-reactivity (CR) can be described as the interaction between an antigen and an antibody, which was generated against a different but similar antigen. The cross-reactivity profile should be characterized during the validation of a new immunoassay. The cross-reactivity.
