Bio-Shield AOZ

Bio-shield AOZ is a quantitative ELISA test kit that determines furazolidone metabolite AOZ, in honey, meat, muscle, seafood and whole egg 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, furazolidone, a notable member of nitrofurans, stands out. While effective against bacteria, furazolidone and its metabolites, due to their carcinogenic nature, pose potential threats to human health. Recognizing these risks, the use of nitrofurans, specifically furazolidone and its metabolites, is strictly forbidden in food-producing animals. Thus, accurate and rapid determination of furazolidone and its metabolites presence in commodities is of paramount importance.
