Development of an ELISA to detect clenbuterol in swine products using a new approach for hapten design
This research outlines the application of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the analysis of clenbuterol in animal products. Our assay showed good sensitivity for clenbuterol (0.4 ng/g or 0.4 ppb) and low detection limit (0.09 ng/g or 0.09 ppb). A low cross-reactivity for other β 2 -ag...

-agonist drugs such as salbutamol, terbutaline, and epinephrine led to formatting an ELISA kit considered to have a high specificity for clenbuterol. A survey of Ho Chi Minh City pork market was conducted as part of the validation of our ELISA. ELISA results showed a surprisingly high value of contamination. However, it will be necessary to conduct a more statistically valid replicated survey with evaluation by other instrumental methods to obtain a definite conclusion. This ELISA kit will be used to monitor growth promoter residues in Vietnam’s animal products. |
