Randox supplies a comprehensive range of diagnostic tests for the detection of drug abuse in food production, show and competition animals and in sport.
Drug abuse is becoming increasingly common, in terms of people being addicted as well as the abuse of drugs to enhance sporting performance.
However, this alarming increase is not limited to human intake.
The worlds of food production, show and competition animals are also being affected in today's society.
The legitimate treatment of diseases with drugs such as antibiotics (in clinical doses) reduces mortality in livestock, improving meat production.
However, many drugs used in meat production can enter the food chain once the animal is slaughtered.
Since most meat is intended for human consumption, these drugs can potentially affect human health.
Consumers need to be protected from the effects of drug residues.
The most effective method of detecting drug residues in food and animals is by using the Randox drug residue Elisa kits.
The range offered by Randox is comprehensive.
This includes beta-agonists, boldenone, beta-lactams, Chloramphenicol, Clenbuterol, Corticosteroids, 19-Nortestosterone/Trenbolone, Quinolones, Ractopamine, Stanozolol, Stilbenes, Sulphadiazine, Suplhamethazine, Sulphaquinoxoline, Trenbolone and Zeranol, with the release of a Malachite Green Elisa later in the year.
All kits offer excellent limits of detection, a wide range of sample matrices, small sample volume and outstanding cross reactivity.
