FSTest Olaquindox Metabolite (MQCA) ELISA Test Kit – High-Sensitivity Detection for Banned Growth Promoter Monitoring
Introduction:
The FSTest Olaquindox Metabolite ELISA Test Kit is a highly specific immunoassay designed for quantitative detection of 3-methylquinoxaline-2-carboxylic acid (MQCA), the marker residue of banned growth promoter olaquindox, in animal tissues and seafood. With a 0.5ppb detection limit, this kit provides reliable monitoring to comply with global food safety regulations.
Key Features & Benefits:
✔ Ultra-Sensitive Detection – 0.5ppb limit of detection for precise MQCA quantification
✔ Exceptional Specificity – 100% cross-reactivity with MQCA,<1% with olaquindox/carbadox
✔ Regulatory Compliance – Meets requirements for monitoring banned quinoxaline drugs
✔ High-Throughput Format – 96-well design for efficient batch processing
✔ Validated Performance – ≤10% CV ensures reproducible results
✔ Streamlined Workflow – Optimized extraction protocol for meat and seafood
Applications:
Monitoring banned olaquindox residues in pork, poultry
Seafood safety testing (fish, shrimp)
Food import/export compliance verification
Veterinary drug residue surveillance programs
Testing Principle:
This competitive ELISA measures absorbance at 450nm (inversely proportional to MQCA concentration) against a standard curve (0-16.2ppb range).
How to Use:
1️⃣ Sample Preparation:
Homogenize tissue/seafood samples
Extract with ethyl acetate/HCl
Evaporate and reconstitute
2️⃣ Test Procedure:
Add 50μL sample/standard to wells
Add 50μL enzyme conjugate & antibody
Incubate 30min at 20-28°C
Wash 4-5 times
Add substrate, incubate 30min
Add stop solution
Measure absorbance at 450nm using a microplate reader.
3️⃣ Result Interpretation:
Compare to standard curve (0.3-16.2ppb)
Multiply by 1.5× dilution factor
