Antibiotic Honey Analysis Equipment

Antibiotics are used in apiculture to treat bacterial diseases, such as foulbrood. Antimicrobial drugs are effective against these diseases; however, antibiotic drug residues in honey pose a risk to human health. As a result, the use of antimicrobials in apiculture is strictly regulated or banned. Randox Food Diagnostics offers excellent tools for on-site screening of antimicrobials in honey.

Multi analyte screening

Our unique multi-analyte testing platform, the Evidence Investigator, allows for simultaneous detection of multiple residues from a single honey sample.

Benefits of multi-analyte screening:

  • Higher throughput – 45 samples assessed in under two hours
  • Cost savings – significant cost savings compared with LC/MS MS
  • Meets regulations – conforms to all regulatory requirements; recently received USDA approval
  • Full antibiotic profile – complete antibiotic test menu offered over four arrays

Arrays available:

  • Antimicrobial Array I Plus
  • Antimicrobial Array II
  • Antimicrobial Array III
  • Antimicrobial Array IV

ELISA tests kits

ELISA test kits offer a cost-effective screening method for honey analysis in lower volume throughput laboratories.

Benefits of ELISA test kits:

  • Single sample preparation across various ELISA kits – generally the honey sample will only require dilution and or/filtration
  • Rapid analysis – 40 samples can be analysed in 90 minutes
  • Simplified set up – Biotek plate readers and software offered for initial laboratory set up
  • Excellent generic antibodies for several ELISAs

ELISA tests available:

  • Chloramphenicol
  • Flumequine
  • Streptomycin
  • Sulphamethoxazole
  • Tetracyclines
