Many countries have maximum residue limits for quinolones, ranging from 10ppb for Sarafloxacin in chicken fat to 1900ppb for Difloxacin in poultry liver
Randox says its quinolones Elisa is fast, reliable and simple to perform.
Enhanced cross-reactivity expands its screening capacity to 50% more than typical quinolone Elisas.
Quinolones are broad-spectrum bactericidal antibiotics.
They are widely used in food animal production and fish farming, as well as in human medicine.
Foodstuffs are screened for quinolone drug residues to avoid unnecessary consumer exposure.
Quinolone antibiotics can cause adverse drug reactions, also allergic reactions are relatively common.
In addition, antibiotics must be used responsibly to limit the development of antibiotic resistance in human disease.
This is particularly important where families of antibiotics are used both in agriculture and in human medicine.
