Anti-Methaqualone Antibody

From Antibodies.com, this 1 mg reagent is a Protein A purified polyclonal antibody raised in rabbit against the sedative-hypnotic compound Methaqualone. It is offered as an unconjugated Ig fraction, allowing laboratories to conjugate it to their preferred reporter enzyme, fluorophore, or labelled carrier for downstream immunoassay development. Clonality is polyclonal, providing broad epitope coverage that is well suited to competitive immunoassay formats targeting small molecules. The host species is rabbit and the product is classed as a primary antibody in the Antibodies.com catalogue. The validated application is ELISA, where the antibody can be paired with a Methaqualone-BSA or Methaqualone-BGG coating antigen for quantitative detection in clinical chemistry, forensic toxicology, and workplace drugs-of-abuse screening workflows. Reactivity is directed against Methaqualone itself as the chemical target. Supplied at the 1 mg pack size as a Protein A purified polyclonal antibody Ig fraction, the reagent is formulated in a phosphate-saline buffer with sodium azide as preservative, consistent with the standard Antibodies.com format for this drug-of-abuse product family. Recommended storage is short term at +2 to +8 °C for routine use, with long-term storage at –20 °C in aliquots to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles, protected from light. The antibody is intended for research and in-vitro diagnostic development and is distributed in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia by AFMS, listed at 1470 SAR for the 1 mg vial. Methaqualone is a quinazoline derivative originally developed as a barbiturate substitute and withdrawn from many markets due to abuse potential, and antibodies such as this one remain a key tool for clinical and forensic laboratories monitoring its presence in biological samples.
