Product news

ELISA kits from Randox offer drug residue screening on a fast and simple basis providing reliable results.

Chromatographic methods such as gas chromatography mass spectrophotometry (GCMS) have been used to monitor drug residue levels in food. Randox diagnostic kits employ ELISA technology for the measurement of drug residues in a variety of matrices including serum, bile, milk, urine, hair, feathers, tissue, muscle, feed, eggs and honey.

ELISA kits from Randox offer a host of benefits over other Drug Residue testing methods on the market. The kits are easy to use, highly specific whilst still being an extremely cost-effective screening method. drug residues can be measured in various matrices, as shown above. This allows for comprehensive testing that reaches into all areas. No expensive equipment is required for ELISA kits from Randox, reducing set up costs. Not only do you save on costs, you will also save time. Up to 120 samples can be analysed in 2-3 hours with ELISA, whereas it can take up to 30 minutes to process a single sample using GC-MS. The quality of results is dramatically increased, with intra and inter assay precision typically <10% CV and 5 to 10 times greater sensitivity.

To complement our range of drug residue test kits, Randox have developed a range of immunoaffinity columns for sample purification. Randox immunoaffinity columns are efficient, whilst also being cost-effective and convenient. Available columns have long shelf lives and come with equilibration and storage buffers. Available columns include Clenbuterol/ß-agonists, Corticosteroids, Trenbolone and nortestosterone, Stilbene and Zeranol.

Randox produce ELISA kits for drug residue screening that are above and beyond typical expectations, allowing you to achieve results that are precise and sensitive in a short time period.

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.

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.Cell-Based AssaysCell-based assays are used to monitor the presence, quantity and activities of a desired cellular analyte including drug molecules or biomarkers. This can reveal information on cell health (apoptosis, cytotoxicity, viability and proliferation assays), cell metabolism, cell migration and cell signaling mechanisms. Find the best cell-based assay products, kits and equipment with our peer reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receiving pricing direct from manufacturers.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.GC-MS GC-MS (gas chromatography-mass spectrometry) instruments and equipment are used to separate, quantify and identify mixtures of small and volatile compounds, such as polycyclic aromatics, fatty acids and alcohols. Often used in drug detection, forensic investigation and environmental analysis for pesticides and contaminants, GC-MS is a powerful addition to your lab’s analytical capabilities. GC-MS/MS instruments equipped with a qTOF or triple quadrupole analyzers can give greater sensitivity and resolution to your analysis.
