Saxitoxins(PSP) ELISA Test Kit Used For Detecting Mussels

Saxitoxin (PSP) ELISA Test Kit

CH 98013

         Saxitoxin (PSP) ELISA Test Kit is a competitive enzyme immunoassay for the quantitative analysis of Saxitoxin in mussels and water samples. Saxitoxin, the principal component of paralytic shellfish poisons (PSP), blocks the sodium ion channels in nerve and muscle membranes.The lethal dose in humans is 1 to 3 mg. Numbness and respiratory paralysis can occur after oral ingestion of as little as 0.5 - 1.0mg saxitoxin. Saxitoxin residues can be determined by either GC-MS or HPLC. However, enzyme immunoassays (ELISA) show considerable advantages as it is faster and more sensitive.

        Saxitoxin (PSP) ELISA Test Kit enables international and government regulatory agencies, food manufacturers and processors, as well as quality assurance organizations, to detect saxitoxin in shellfish matrices and to satisfy customer concerns about food safety.

The unique features of the kit are:

§ High recovery (80%-105%), rapid (30 minutes), and cost-effective extraction methods

§ High sensitivity (0.5 ng/g or ppb) and low detection limit (100 ppb for mussel samples ).

§ High reproducibility.

§ A quick ELISA assay(less than 1 hours regardless of number of samples).
