CTC (Chlortetracycline) ELISA Kit

The Assay Genie CTC (Chlortetracycline) ELISA Kit is a competitive immunoassay enabling quantitative screening of chlortetracycline residues across food and biological matrices including meat, liver, eggs, honey, and urine. Chlortetracycline is a tetracycline-class antibiotic widely administered to livestock; routine residue monitoring is essential for food safety compliance, MRL verification, and surveillance of veterinary drug use in production animals.

Each kit contains 96 assays worth of pre-coated microplate wells, calibrated standards, detection antibody, conjugate, substrate solution, and wash buffer. The competitive binding principle pairs chlortetracycline in the sample against coated antigen for antibody binding sites, yielding an inverse absorbance signal proportional to analyte concentration. The kit demonstrates cross-reactivity with related tetracycline analogues, supporting reliable class-level residue screening in livestock-derived samples.

Store kit components refrigerated at 4°C and protect the substrate from light. All reagents are intended for in vitro research use only and should be handled with appropriate laboratory safety practices.

Typical users include food safety laboratories, veterinary diagnostic facilities, and quality control programs monitoring antibiotic residues in animal-derived products intended for human consumption.
