Ethoxyquin ELISA /EIA Test Kit(enzyme immunoassay)can analysis of ethoxyquin in seafood (fish, shrimp), feed and meat. Ethoxyquin is a quinoline-based antioxidant used as a food preservative and a pesticide. To date, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has only found a verifiable connection between ethoxyquin and buildup of protoporphyrin IX in the liver, as well as elevations in liver-related enzymes in some animals, but there are no known health consequences from these effects. In Japan, the ethoxyquin content must not be higher than 10 ppb in shrimp, 1 ppm in fish.

The REAGEN™ ethoxyquin ELISA Test Kit enables international and government regulatory agencies, food manufacturers and processors, as well as quality assurance organizations, to detect ethoxyquin in fish, shrimp to satisfy customer’s concerns about food safety.

The unique features of the elisa kit are:

l          High recovery (>75%)

l          Low-cost extraction methods

l          High sensitivity (0.1 ppb)

l          Rapid ELISA assay (less than 2 hours regardless of the number of samples)

l          High reproducibility

l          Low detection limit-1ppb
