Chloramphenicol Residue Testing Service

Chloramphenicol residues in foods of animal origin may affect consumer health. It is also classified as undetectable in many countries and regions. Alfa Chemistry provides a platform for the analysis of chloramphenicol residues, and can customize different detection schemes for you according to different detection purposes.

Chloramphenicol (CAP) is a highly effective broad-spectrum antibiotic that can inhibit gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. It is widely used in the control of infectious diseases in the production of various poultry, livestock, and aquatic products.

The residue of chloramphenicol in food poses a potential hazard to human health. Long-term consumption of food with chloramphenicol residues will cause the body's flora to develop resistance and cause the body's normal flora to become imbalanced. It can also cause disorders of the human bone marrow hematopoietic function, resulting in aplastic anemia and agranulocytosis, neonatal and premature infant gray syndrome. Long-term trace consumption of chloramphenicol can also cause diseases such as optic neuritis, visual impairment, and severe blindness.

Chloramphenicol, as an antibiotic with serious side effects, has been banned clinically. In order to prevent the harm of chloramphenicol residues in food to consumers, the use of chloramphenicol is also prohibited for food animals. Many countries such as the United States, the European Union, and Japan have listed chloramphenicol as banned drugs and stipulated that chloramphenicol residues should not be detected.

Alfa Chemistry has developed rapid detection technologies suitable for chloramphenicol residue testing service for manufacturers, enterprises, and government organizations. We strictly abide by the quality assurance/quality control plans and regulatory requirements of each country and region to provide you with support. Including but not limited to the following standards and methods: ISO, FDA, AOAC, EU regulations.

Food Chloramphenicol Residue Testing Platform

• Electrochemical sensor based on molecular imprinting (MIPs)
  The analyte diffuses into the biologically active material and generates a biological response through molecular recognition. After the electrodes are converted into photoelectric signals, the signals are amplified, and finally the concentration of the analyte is obtained. The sensor uses molecular imprinting technology as the template recognition element. After modifying the electrode with MIPs electroactive materials, a highly sensitive sensor for specific recognition of target molecules can be prepared.
• Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)
  The core of this method is to combine the antibody with the enzyme complex and then detect it by color development. ELISA can be used to determine antibodies and antigens.
• Ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC)
• Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS)
• Surface enhanced raman spectroscopy (SERS)

Acceptable Samples: Nearly all raw and processed foods or ingredients.

Turnaround Time: 7-10 working days.
