Beta-lactams & Tetracyclines Combo
Colloidal Gold · Food Safety · BT Combo
Beta-lactams and tetracyclines are classes of antibiotics commonly used in veterinary medicine to treat bacterial infections in livestock. Residues of these antibiotics can be found in animal-derived products such as meat, milk, and eggs. Improper use of antibiotics or inadequate withdrawal periods can result in the presence of beta-lactams and tetracyclines in food products, posing potential risks to human health, including allergic reactions and antimicrobial resistance. Therefore, monitoring and controlling antibiotic residues in food-producing animals and their products are essential to ensure food safety and protect public health.

Beta-lactams & Tetracyclines SUMMARY
Beta-lactams and tetracyclines are groups of broad-spectrum antibacterial agents indicated for use against a large variety of microorganisms including aerobic, anaerobic, Gram-positive and Gram-negative pathogenic bacteria, and some types of protozoa. Most common beta-lactam antibiotics, such as penicillins and cefalosporins, and tetracyclines are widely used in veterinary medicine and function as growth promoter additives in animal feed and to prevent or treat infection diseases of cattle.
Currently, the abuse of antibiotics and chemical residue inside the milk product has become a serious food safety issue worldwide. It can cause allergic reactions and the imbalance of intestinal microflora. More seriously, drug resistance can be transferred to humans and cause tough clinical issues. To ensure the safety and quality of milk products, governments have set maximum residue limits for beta-lactams and tetracyclines in the dairy industry.
Aflatoxin M1 can be found in milk or milk products obtained from livestock that have ingested contaminated feed.
Beta-lactams & Tetracyclines PRINCIPLES
Antibody-Colloidal Gold Conjugate
Tetracycline-BSA conjugate antigen and beta-lactams-BSA conjugate antigen and goat anti mouse IgG are coated and immobilized on a reaction membrane
Bioartron Beta-lactams & Tetracyclines Combo (BT Combo) Rapid Test kit contains mouse monoclonal anti-beta-lactams and anti-tetracyclines antibody-colloidal gold conjugate pre-dried in the reaction microwells. Tetracycline-BSA conjugate antigen (on T1 test zone) and beta-lactams-BSA conjugate antigen (on T2 test zone) and goat anti mouse IgG (on control zone) are coated and immobilized on a reaction membrane.
The principal of Bioartron Beta-lactams & Tetracyclines Combo (BT Combo) Rapid Test is a solid phase, competitive inhibition immuno-chromatographic assay, in which beta-lactams-BSA would compete with beta-lactams, and tetracyclines-BSA would compete with and tetracyclines that may possibly present in fresh raw milk sample to be tested, for limited antibody binding sites. When the absorbent pad (sample end) is soaked with the liquid sample in the microwell, the liquid sample will then migrate via capillary action toward the test window where the test reaction occurs. The absorbent pad (sample end) should be removed when observing to avoid further absorption.
