MaxSignal^® Ethoxyquin ELISA Kit

• Cost-effective extraction methods
• High reproducibility
• Rapid screening of samples

The MaxSignal^® Ethoxyquin ELISA Kit is a competitive ELISA for the quantitative analysis of ethoxyquin in fish, shrimp, feed and meat. Ethoxyquin is a quinoline-based antioxidant used as a food preservative and a pesticide. To date, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has only found a verifiable connection between ethoxyquin and buildup of protoporphyrin IX in the liver, as well as elevations in liver-related enzymes in some animals, but there are no known health consequences from these effects. In Japan, the ethoxyquin content must not be higher than 10 ppb in shrimp or 1 ppm in fish. The MaxSignal^® Ethoxyquin ELISA Kit enables international and government regulatory agencies, food manufacturers and processors, as well as quality assurance organizations, to detect ethoxyquin in fish, shrimp to satisfy customer's concerns about food safety. This kit is manufactured to the international quality standard ISO 9001.
