Description:

Gentamicin, an aminoglycosidic antibiotic, has a broad spectrum towards most bacteria, particularly gram-negative species. It is widely used by veterinaries, has industrials applications as an additive and can be found on foodstuff consumed by animals. Its popularity is due to its broad antibacterial spectrum, efficacy and low cost. It is also known that unregulated and excessive use of this antibiotic causes negative effects in humans (i.e. neurological, hearing and renal damage). Due to its dangerous side effects, the FDA has established strict parameters that are considered safe for human consumption. Consequently, monitoring Gentamicin concentration amounts in animal-derived food is critical. Standard techniques/instruments (HPLC or GC-MS) are utilized to detect Gentamicin. However, these techniques are complex, expensive, laborious, and time-consuming. Immunoassay techniques, such as ELISAs are commonly preferred as a simple, reliable and rapid method for the quantification of Gentamicin in various samples. BioVision’s Gentamicin ELISA Kit is a competitive-based ELISA that can be used for the determination of this antibiotic in dairy products, mammalian tissues and human biofluids. This Gentamicin detection kit is fast, can be completed within 90 min, offers ready-to-use reagents and can detect Gentamicin within a range between 0.3 to 24.3 ppb (ng/ml).
