Amphetamine-BSA Antigen

This amphetamine-BSA conjugate from Antibodies.com is a hapten-carrier immunogen supplied as a 1 mg liquid preparation. Amphetamine itself is a small molecule that is not intrinsically immunogenic, so covalent conjugation to bovine serum albumin (BSA) is used to present the target hapten to the immune system. The resulting antigen-BSA construct is widely used as an immunogen for raising polyclonal or monoclonal anti-amphetamine antibodies in host animals, and as a coating antigen in competitive immunoassay development for drug screening workflows.

Researchers employ this conjugate in ELISA plate coating, lateral flow test development, and other immunochromatographic formats where a defined amphetamine-BSA reagent is required. The liquid format allows direct dilution into coating buffer without resolubilization. For storage, keep frozen at -20 degrees C and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles to preserve hapten integrity and BSA conjugate stability. Aliquot upon receipt if dilute working solutions are prepared frequently. The conjugate is intended for research use only and is not approved for diagnostic or therapeutic applications.
