About Chloramphenicol (CAP) — BANNED
- What it is: a broad-spectrum antibiotic BANNED in food-producing animals worldwide due to aplastic anaemia risk in humans.
- SA position: zero-tolerance; any detectable residue triggers batch rejection, especially for EU, USA, and Middle East exports.
- Why screened: CAP is cheap and widely available on the black market; residues sometimes appear despite the ban.
- Typical samples: raw milk, meat, honey, shrimp, aquaculture.
- Who cares in SA: export-focused producers, DALRRD inspectors, importers' residue-screening labs.
Chloramphenicol ELISA Kit is a competitive ELISA kit to detect chloramphenicol in milk, tissue and other food samples.
Although chloramphenicol is not approved for use in food-producing animals in the United States, this broad-spectrum antibiotic has been widely used to treat diseases in such animals including the lactating dairy cow. Extremely low ophthalmologic doses of chloramphenicol are known to cause aplastic anemia in humans. The residues in meat, milk, and eggs intended for human consumption cause particular public health concern because the bone marrow aplasia is not dose-dependent. Furthermore, chloramphenicol, a known inhibitor of protein synthesis, also retards erythropoiesis, a condition that is dose dependent and may cause allergic hypersensitivity reactions.
Now in EU, USA, China, Japan, and many other countries in the world, CAP is banned for use in animal production. Zero tolerance is set for chloramphenicol residue in food and food of animal origin.
This chloramphenicol ELISA Kit is based on indirect competitive ELISA, the coupled antigen was pre-coated in the microwells, the chloramphenicol will compete for the antibody with the pre-coated antigen, then add HRP enzyme conjugate and TMB substrate successively, the OD value of the sample is negatively correlated with the content of chloramphenicol contained in the sample. The standard curve is fitted by regression and multiplied by the corresponding dilution ratio to obtain the content of chloramphenicol in the sample.
