Anti-Cannabinoid (THC) Antibody

Manufactured by Antibodies.com, this sheep polyclonal primary antibody is raised against Δ8-THC-BgG and validated for use in ELISA-based detection of cannabinoid (THC). It is supplied as a purified polyclonal antibody in an unconjugated format, allowing straightforward conjugation or direct coating in immunoassay workflows. Each vial contains 1 mg of total antibody, sufficient for large-scale screening panels or longitudinal studies requiring consistent lot-to-lot performance. The reagent is generated in a sheep/ovine host, offering an alternative to the more common rabbit and mouse primaries when secondary cross-reactivity, species diversity, or distinct epitope presentation is desired. Because it is polyclonal in nature, the antibody recognizes multiple epitopes on the THC hapten-carrier conjugate, which can translate into broader reactivity and stronger signal generation in competitive ELISA formats compared with monoclonal reagents. The unconjugated presentation also makes the reagent compatible with HRP, biotin, fluorophore, or gold-labelling chemistries selected by the end user. Routine storage at 2–8 °C in the short term and -20 °C for longer-term stability is recommended for purified polyclonal preparations of this type. Sold under the Antibodies.com catalogue for research and in-vitro diagnostic development, this primary antibody is intended for laboratories working in forensic toxicology, clinical drug screening, customs analysis, and pharmacological research where sensitive detection of tetrahydrocannabinol and related cannabinoid haptens is required.
