FSTest Clenbuterol Rapid Test Kit (10 Tests/Kit)
Product Overview
The FSTest Clenbuterol Rapid Test Kit (Colloidal Gold) is a highly efficient, on-site screening tool developed for the rapid qualitative detection of clenbuterol residues. Clenbuterol is a beta-agonist 'lean meat powder' additive strictly banned or regulated globally due to its potential health risks to consumers. This kit empowers meat wholesalers, slaughterhouses, food processors, and inspectors to perform immediate safety checks, ensuring veterinary drug residues do not compromise food safety guidelines.
TTest Principle
This product utilizes an advanced sandwich lateral flow immunochromatography assay (Colloidal Gold). When the treated sample liquid is loaded into the sample hole of the device, it flows laterally across the test strip and reacts with pre-coated recombinant antigens.
Competitive Inhibition Measurement: The color intensity of the T (Test) line has an opposite correspondence with the clenbuterol concentration. High contamination inhibits the binding on the T line.
Result | Visual Interpretation | Description |
Positive (+) | The T (Test) line is visibly lighter than the C line or completely invisible. | High concentration inhibits the T line; clenbuterol residue is present. |
Negative (-) | The T line develops a strong, clear color equal to or darker than the C line. | Clenbuterol levels are absent or below the detection threshold. |
Invalid | The C (Control) line fails to develop after the sample is applied. | The test run is invalid regardless of the T line color. Repeat with a new strip. |
Target Industries & Applicable Matrices
This test kit is engineered for livestock farmers, poultry processors, export/import border controls, and third-party food testing agencies. It is fully optimized for analyzing:
· Meat & Muscle Tissues: Pork, beef, mutton, and other animal muscle samples.
⚠️ Important Sampling Guide: Ensure the homogenized meat sample consists only of muscle tissues, and fat is strictly avoided during preparation to protect result integrity.
Key Advantages & Application Scenarios
· Ultra-High Sensitivity (0.5 μg/kg LOD): Features an exceptional Limit of Detection (LOD) of 0.5 μg/kg, ensuring that trace chemical residues are effectively captured.
· Rapid Field Mobility: Eradicates the immediate need for heavy and costly laboratory instrumentation like LC-MS/MS during initial sorting, allowing immediate testing on processing floors or receiving docks.
· Chemical Trace Accuracy: Designed to target the exact chemical signature of Clenbuterol (CAS No. 37148-27-9, Molecular Weight: 277.19).
Step-by-Step Assay Procedure
Get definitive visual results in less than 30 minutes by following these simple steps:
1. Sample Extraction: Weigh 4 g of homogenized muscle tissue into a 15 mL centrifuge tube, add 0.5 mL of extracting solution, and vortex or shake thoroughly for 2 minutes.
2. Heat & Centrifuge: Place the centrifuge tube in an 80°C water bath for 10 minutes (ensure the water level surpasses the internal fluid level and watch out for tube leaks). Centrifuge at 4000 rpm for 5 minutes, then cool the supernatant back down to room temperature.
3. Microwell Reaction: Bring the cassette to a 20–40°C environment. Pipette 100 µL of the cooled supernatant into a microwell, mix 3–5 times, and let it stand for 5 minutes.
4. Load & Read: Transfer all the mixed solution into the sample hole of the cassette. Interpret the visual lines between 8–10 minutes.
⚠️ Critical Warning: Results become completely invalid after 10 minutes.
