Description
The Fipronil ELISA Kit from Biorex Food Diagnostics is a high-sensitivity, ready-to-use immunoassay designed for the detection of fipronil residues and its metabolites, including fipronil-sulfone and fipronil-desulfinyl, in food matrices such as eggs, milk, and other animal-derived products.
Fipronil is a broad-spectrum phenylpyrazole insecticide widely used in agriculture and veterinary applications for the control of pests such as ants, beetles, cockroaches, fleas, ticks, termites, mole crickets, thrips, rootworms, and weevils. Although highly effective in pest management, its use is strictly prohibited in food-producing animals due to potential risks associated with residue exposure in the food chain.
As a result, monitoring for fipronil residues is essential to ensure food safety and regulatory compliance. Even trace levels of contamination in animal-derived products can lead to significant public health concerns and regulatory breaches. The presence of fipronil or its metabolites in food is therefore tightly controlled under international food safety standards.
The Biorex Fipronil ELISA Kit enables rapid, accurate, and highly sensitive detection of both parent compounds and key metabolites. Its immunoassay format allows for efficient screening of large numbers of samples, making it suitable for routine monitoring in food testing laboratories, production facilities, and quality assurance programmes.
By providing reliable and reproducible results, the kit supports laboratories and producers in verifying compliance with regulatory limits, safeguarding consumer health, and preventing contaminated products from entering the food supply chain. It is an essential tool for maintaining food integrity, ensuring traceability, and supporting global food safety standards in the monitoring of pesticide residues in animal-derived foods.
