Nitrofurans AHD ELISA

Description

Nitrofurans have been widely used in veterinary practice as antibacterial agents in the treatment of pigs, poultry, fish and shrimp. Bans on nitrofurans were introduced within the EU primarily because of concerns about their carcinogenicity and mutagenicity. Several other Non-European countries have also banned all uses of nitrofurans in food producing animals.

The Randox Food Diagnostics AHD ELISA test kit detects AHD, one of the nitrofuran metabolites for aquaculture residues and drug residues in meat. The sample types are prawn/shrimp.
