Ractopamine ELISA Test Kit is a competitive enzyme immunoassay for detection in meat, feed, liver, kidney, milk, urine, serum and plasma. Ractopamine has been banned for use as a livestock growth promoter in many countries around the world. To prevent ractopamine residues from entering the food chain, both producers and government surveillance agencies need technologies and methods that can provide rapid, accurate and reliable detection at specific sensitivities. This kit enables government agencies, food manufacturers, as well as quality assurance organizations, to detect ractopamine as low as 0.1 ng/g or ppb level in a variety of sample types.

Method recognition:
Improved method
The Acetic Acid (Acetate Kinase Manual Format) test kit is suitable for the measurement and analysis of acetic acid in food and beverages.
This rapid and reliable manual acetic acid kit is simple to perform (only two absorbance readings required), and because a true end-point is measured, does not involve complicated calculations like other kits. This product is very stable both during storage and use (> 2 years), has extended linearity (compared to ACS based kits), contains PVP to prevent tannin inhibition, and is performed at a relatively low pH (7.4), thus minimising ester hydrolysis related interference. This method is suitable for the measurement of acetic acid/acetate in foods, beverages and other materials.
Note for Content: The number of manual tests per kit can be doubled if all volumes are halved. This can be readily accommodated using the MegaQuantTM Wave Spectrophotometer (D-MQWAVE).
