ENVIROLOGIX Inc. - Human Exposure Monitoring Kits

DEET (ELISA Kit)

 Intended Use 

The EnviroLogix Deet In Urine Plate Kit Is Designed For The Quantitative Laboratory Detection Of Deet Insect Repellent Residues In Urine Samples, With An Assay Range From 15 To 750 Parts Per Billion (Ppb).

General

 

The EnviroLogix Deet in Urine Plate Kit is a competitive Enzyme-Linked ImmunoSorbent Assay (ELISA).  In the test, Deet insect repellent residues in the sample compete with enzyme (horseradish peroxidase)-labeled  Deet for a limited number of antibody binding sites on the inside surface of the test wells.  After a simple wash step, the outcome of the competition is visualized with a color development step.  As with all competitive immunoassays, sample concentration is inversely proportional to color development.

Darker color = Lower concentration

Lighter color = Higher concentration

The EnviroLogix Deet in Urine Plate Kit can be used in the following testing applications:

  • Human Exposure Monitoring (Applicators, Handlers, Users).
  • Public Health Screening Programs.
  • Health Risk Assessment.
