Sensitive and reliable drug residue testing

The practice of using high doses of anabolic steroids and ß-agonists to increase meat production and 'quality' is illegal in many countries. Many drugs used in meat production can enter the food chain once the animal is slaughtered. Since most meat is intended for human consumption, these drugs can potentially affect human health. It has become necessary to take measures to protect consumers from the effect of drug residues. 

Sensitive, reliable and cost-effective methods of monitoring drug residues are essential to ensure that levels remain within defined limits. Randox have embarked on a programme of research and development of new products for the detection of drug abuse in food production, show and competition animals and in sport. Randox produce a range of drug residue products.

• ELISA tests for drug residue analysis
• Immunoaffinity columns for sample purification
• Drug residue antisera
• Veterinary drug residue arrays
• Drugs of abuse arrays
