ELISA facilitates carbendazim analysis in juice and honey

The kit was developed in response to the US Food and Drug Administration’s announcement that it is increasing its testing for carbendazim which has been found in low levels of orange juice.

Carbendazim is a fungicide used in agriculture, which is not approved for use on citrus in the US, but is used in Brazil and other countries that export orange juice to the United States.

The MaxSignal Carbendazim ELISA Test Kit includes a rapid organic reagent-free extraction method with carbendazim recovery rates of 80 - 95%.

It also claims to have a high sensitivity rate of 0.5 ppb and a low 1 ppb detection limit.
