Anti-Benzoylecgonine (BE) Antibody

Manufactured by Antibodies.com and distributed through AFMS, this Primary Antibody is a mouse monoclonal reagent raised against Benzoylecgonine (BE), the principal urinary metabolite of cocaine, and is intended for the quantitative detection of BE and cocaine in research samples. The antibody is supplied as a Protein A purified monoclonal in liquid format at a 1 mg pack size, with an unconjugated format suitable for direct labelling or pairing with reporter-conjugated secondaries. It is of the IgG isotype, raised in mouse, and is offered for use in immunoassay workflows including competitive ELISA, EIA (Enzyme Immunoassay), RIA (Radioimmunoassay), and lateral flow formats commonly deployed in forensic and toxicology screening. Specificity has been demonstrated toward benzoylecgonine, with cross-reactivity to cocaine itself, making it well suited to assay development for the BE/cocaine panel. The immunogen is a Benzoylecgonine-KLH hapten conjugate, and purification by Protein A chromatography delivers a clean preparation with minimal background in competitive assay formats. For handling, the antibody should be stored at 2–8 °C in the short term and at –20 °C for longer-term use, with repeated freeze–thaw cycles avoided to preserve binding activity; shipments are made on cold packs to maintain cold-chain integrity. Each lot is released for research use only and is not intended for diagnostic procedures, allowing laboratories to deploy it freely in screening, confirmation and validation studies targeting this small-molecule hapten.
