Anti-Methylphenidate Antibody

Manufactured by Antibodies.com as a high-quality reagent for therapeutic-drug-monitoring and immunoassay workflows, this rabbit polyclonal reagent targets the small-molecule stimulant methylphenidate and is supplied as a 1 mg unit of Protein A-purified, unconjugated antibody in liquid format. Raised in a rabbit host, the polyclonal antibody is purified by Protein A chromatography and presented in 0.05 M phosphate buffer at pH 7.15 with 0.85% sodium chloride and 0.05% sodium azide as preservative, with the IgG isotype typical of rabbit polyclonals. The immunogen used for immunization is the methylphenidate-BgG conjugate, conferring specificity toward methylphenidate itself rather than a peptide or protein target, and the reagent has been validated for use in ELISA-based competitive immunoassays designed to detect methylphenidate in biological or forensic samples. Recommended handling is to store the vial at 2–8 °C for short-term use and to aliquot and freeze at –20 °C for longer-term storage, avoiding repeated freeze/thaw cycles to preserve binding activity; the antibody is intended for research use only and is not approved for diagnostic applications. Distributed by AFMS, this Antibodies.com polyclonal reagent offers a robust, batch-validated option for laboratories developing or running ELISA assays for methylphenidate (MPH), supporting sensitive detection through its polyclonal recognition of multiple epitopes on the target molecule.
