Intended Use
For the quantitative in vitro determination of Sulphaquinoxaline in tissue, urine, milk, egg and serum samples. This product is suitable for Manual use.
General Background
Sulphaquinoxaline (Sulfaquinoxaline) belongs to a group of antibiotics referred to as the sulphonamides and is a veterinary drug used to treat and prevent coccidiosis in cattle, sheep and poultry.
The sulphonamides are competitive inhibitors of p-aminobenzoic acid in the folic acid metabolism cycle and have a bacteriostatic effect on a broad range of gram-positive and gram-negative organisms. The sulphonamides are distributed widely throughout all organs and tissues; and are metabolized primarily by the liver, producing inactive acetylated and glucuronide forms, which are excreted in urine.
Sulphonamides are used extensively in veterinary medicine; their use in food producing animals could result in potentially harmful concentrations in tissue, organs and milk. The potential risk is reduced by withdrawal of the drug for a fixed period before slaughter, although residual levels may still remain.
Regulatory authorities have specified MRLs (Maximum Residue Limits) for sulphonamide drugs, which are considered to represent safe levels for human consumption. The European Commission has specified a MRL of 100 ppb for all substances belonging to the sulphonamide group.
Principle
Antibody to Sulphaquinoxaline is bound to a microtitre plate. Sulphaquinoxaline in the sample competes with the horseradish peroxidase labelled Sulphaquinoxaline (enzyme-labelled antigen) for binding to the limited number of antibody sites on the microtitre plate. The enzyme substrate is added. After an appropriate time has elapsed for maximum colour development, the enzyme reaction is stopped by the addition of acid, producing a colour change from blue to yellow. The optical density is read at 450 nm with the colour intensity being inversely proportional to the concentration of Sulphaquinoxaline in the standard or sample.
