Charm II Amphenicol Tests for Feed and Grain
>> Available in kits of 100 and 500 tests

charm ii_newlogo Charm offers two Charm II Kits to detect amphenicols and/or chloramphenicol in feed and grain. The amphenicol family of antibiotics includes such drugs as chloramphenicol, florfenicol and thiamphenicol. Chloramphenicol has been banned for use in food producing animals in many countries as it is known to cause aplastic anemia.

How It Works
Charm II Amphenicol Tests use a binding reagent with specific receptor sites that bind amphenicols. The binder is added to a sample extract along with an exempt amount of labeled amphenicol (tracer). Any amphenicol in the sample competes for the binding sites with this tracer. The amount of tracer that binds to the receptor sites is measured and compared to a previously determined Control Point. The Control Point is the cutoff point between a negative or positive sample. The greater the amount of tracer measured, the lower the amphenicol concentration in the sample. The smaller the amount of tracer measured, the greater the amphenicol concentration in the sample.
