Hydrocodone Antigen

An opioid-targeted BSA conjugate from Antibodies.com, this hydrocodone antigen is supplied as a 1 mg liquid preparation intended for use in ELISA workflows and antibody generation studies. The small-molecule hydrocodone is covalently linked to bovine serum albumin, rendering the hapten immunogenic and suitable as a coating reagent on microplate wells or as a standard in competitive binding assays.

Typical applications include the development and calibration of immunoassays for hydrocodone detection in toxicology, forensic, and clinical research settings. The antigen-BSA format enables researchers to raise polyclonal or monoclonal antibodies against the hydrocodone hapten, or to establish competitive binding assays that probe antibody specificity and cross-reactivity with related opioid metabolites.

Each vial contains 1 mg of the liquid conjugate. For optimal stability, store refrigerated and protect from light, aliquoting on receipt to limit freeze-thaw cycles. Handle using standard laboratory precautions applicable to antigen and immunogen reagents, and use only for research purposes.
