An antibiotic residue detector is an instrument used to detect antibiotic residues in food. With the increasing attention of people to food safety, antibiotic residue detectors have been widely used at home and abroad. This article will introduce the working principle and application fields of antibiotic residue detector.
How it works. The working principle of the antibiotic residue detector is mainly based on immunoassay technology. This technique uses the specificity of the antigen-antibody reaction to bind antibiotic residues to antibodies, thereby enabling quantitative detection of antibiotic residues. Specifically, the instrument mainly includes the following parts:
1.Sample Handling: The sample to be tested is processed to extract the antibiotic residue from it.
2.Antigen-antibody reaction: The extracted antibiotic residue is combined with the antibody to form an antigen-antibody complex.
3.Signal conversion: Converts the combined complex into an identifiable signal, such as an optical signal or an electrical signal.
4.Signal detection: Quantitative detection of antibiotic residues can be achieved by detecting the strength of the signal.
Fields of application. The application field of antibiotic residue detector is very wide, mainly including the following aspects:
1.Animal husbandry: used to detect antibiotic residues in milk, meat and other foods to ensure the safety of animal-derived foods.
2.Planting: It is used to detect antibiotic residues in vegetables, fruits and other foods to ensure the safety of plant-derived foods.
3.Food processing enterprises: used for self-inspection of antibiotic residues in food to improve product quality.
4.Regulatory authorities: used for sampling antibiotic residues in food to ensure food safety in the market.
