    
ELISA kit for quantitation of
Okadaic Acid :
This competition ELISA utilizes a monoclonal antibody as a capture antibody and
a peroxidase-conjugated affinity purified anti-mouse antiserum as the detecting
antibody.
Each kit contains :
 |
A 96 well, 8x12 strip plate,
pre-coated with a monoclonal capture antibody |
|
A peroxidase-conjugated affinity
purified antiserum as a detector |
|
Three okadaic acid standards |
|
A complete set of buffers and
reagents necessary for completion of an ELISA |
The assay features :
|
Measurement of okadaic acid in
the range of 9-81 ng/ml |
|
Sensitivity, reproducibility,
reliability and stability |
|
A fast (2.5 hours incubation
time) and relatively simple technique |
|
High correlation between OA
quantitated in ELISA and HPLC |
Indications for use :
|
Detection and quantitation of
okadaic acid present in shellfish (i.e. mussels, scallops) for routine
inspection by the fishing industry |
|
Detection and quantitation of
okadaic acid produced by plankton in freshwater samples |
Contra-indications :
|
This kit is not intended to be
used for quantitation of DTX-1 or DTX-3 event though there is slight
cross-reactivity with these toxins.
