Anti-Methaqualone Antibody

The polyclonal antibody reagent from Antibodies.com is raised in rabbit against methaqualone, a sedative-hypnotic agent historically withdrawn from medical use and now encountered primarily in forensic toxicology screening. Supplied as a Protein A purified IgG fraction at 1 mg per vial in unconjugated format, it serves as a capture or detection reagent in immunoassay development, particularly competitive ELISA workflows targeting the parent compound and structurally related quinazolinone derivatives in sample matrices such as urine, hair, or seized-material extracts. The polyclonal clonality provides broader epitope coverage, which can be advantageous when the goal is class-level recognition of methaqualone and related analogues rather than strict single-analyte specificity. Because the antibody is supplied unconjugated, it is compatible with downstream labeling strategies including HRP, biotin, or fluorescent tag conjugation carried out in the end user's laboratory. For storage, refrigerate the vial upon receipt; aliquot and freeze at lower temperature for longer-term stability to limit freeze-thaw degradation of the IgG. Researchers developing custom immunoassays for controlled-substance monitoring, workplace drug testing panels, or analytical method validation will find this reagent a flexible building block.
