ENVIROLOGIX Inc. - Environmental & Food Monitoring Kits: Pesticides

METALAXYL (ELISA Kit)

 Intended Use 

The EnviroLogix Metalaxyl Plate Kit Is Designed For The Quantitative Laboratory Detection Of Metalaxyl Pesticide Residues In Ground And Surface Water Samples, With An Assay Range From 0.15 To 1.75 Parts Per Billion (Ppb).

General

 

The EnviroLogix Metalaxyl Plate Kit is a competitive Enzyme-Linked ImmunoSorbent Assay (ELISA).  In the test, Metalaxyl pesticide residues in the sample compete with enzyme (horseradish peroxidase) labeled Metalaxyl 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 Metalaxyl Plate Kit can be used in the following applications:

  • Source Water Protection.
  • Drinking Water Monitoring.
  • Treated Effluent Monitoring.
  • Run-Off Assessment And Monitoring.
  • Point Source Testing.
  • Soil Testing.
