The Ractopamine ELISA kit from Biorex Food Diagnostics is a highly sensitive and reliable assay designed for the detection of Ractopamine hydrochloride, a β-agonist growth promoter, in meat and other animal-derived food products. Developed to ensure accuracy, reproducibility, and regulatory compliance, the kit provides laboratories and food producers with a rapid and dependable method for monitoring residues.
Ractopamine, a phenethanolamine β-adrenoceptor agonist, is widely used in livestock production to enhance lean muscle growth and feed efficiency. However, residues in food can pose significant health risks, including cardiovascular and metabolic effects. Consequently, Ractopamine use is banned in nearly 160 countries, including the European Union, while permitted under regulated limits in others such as the United States and Canada.
The Biorex Ractopamine ELISA offers high sensitivity and specificity for trace residue detection across multiple matrices, including beef and pork. Its user-friendly protocol and rapid turnaround make it ideal for both routine screening and regulatory surveillance.
Manufactured in an ISO 13485-accredited facility, the kit delivers consistent, precise, and traceable results, supporting food safety assurance, consumer protection, and compliance with EU, Codex, and international standards.
