BIO-SHIELD AHD ELISA

BIO-SHIELD AHD ELISA is a kit for the quantitative determination of nitrofurantoin metabolite AHD in honey, meat, muscle and seafood samples.

GENERAL INFORMATION:Nitrofurans represent a class of synthetic antibiotics extensively utilized in agriculture to combat bacterial infections in farm animals. However, concerns arise due to the health risks associated with both the parent compounds and their metabolites. Among these compounds, nitrofurantoin, a notable member of nitrofurans, stands out. While effective against bacteria, nitrofurantoin and its metabolites, due to their carcinogenic nature, pose potential threats to human health. Recognizing these risks, the use of nitrofurans, specifically nitrofurantoin and its metabolites, is strictly forbidden in food-producing animals. Thus, accurate and rapid determination of nitrofurantoin and its metabolites presence in commodities is of paramount importance.
